This package provides a git-like artisan command to easily sync files and folders between environments. This is super useful for assets, documents, and any other files that are untracked in your git repository.
Laravel Sync is a no-brainer and the perfect companion for your deploy script. The days are over when you had to manually keep track of files and folders between your environments. Do yourself a favor and give it a try!

To use this package, you have to define at least one remote and recipe.
Each remote consists of a user
, host
, and root
. Optionally, you may also define the SSH port
and make a remote read_only
.
Key | Description |
---|---|
user |
The username to log in to the host |
host |
The IP address of your server. |
port |
The SSH port to use for this connection |
root |
The absolute path to the project's root folder |
read_only |
Set to true to make the remote read-only |
'remotes' => [
'production' => [
'user' => 'forge',
'host' => '104.26.3.113',
'port' => 1431,
'root' => '/home/forge/statamic.com',
'read_only' => env('SYNC_PRODUCTION', true),
],
],
The read_only
option comes in handy if you want to prevent pushing to a remote from a certain environment, e.g. pushing to production
from your local environment.
Add any number of recipes with the paths you want to sync. Each recipe is an array of paths relative to your project's root.
'recipes' => [
'assets' => ['storage/app/assets/', 'storage/app/img/'],
'env' => ['.env'],
],
Configure the default rsync options to use when performing a sync. You can override these options when executing the command.
'options' => [
'--archive',
],
