wpsync

Sync WordPress installations across local, ftp, sftp and ssh hosts
NOTE: I changed the name of the default branch from master to main. To reflect the changes in your local repository, run the following commands:

git fetch --all
git remote set-head origin -a
git branch --set-upstream-to origin/main
git branch -m master main

NOTE: Due to the dependency on schema, wpsync currently doesn’t work with Python versions greater than 3.7. A new wpsync version with fewer dependencies is in the making.

Installation

wpsync uses the pipenv package/dependency manager, so make sure you have it installed.
Then:

git clone https://github.com/em4nl/wpsync.git
cd wpsync
pipenv install

Now you should be able to run wpsync from its own directory with poetry run wpsync.
To make it accessible from everywhere, I usually make a shell script that I place in ~/bin/wpsync:

#!/bin/sh

# change the path to wherever you cloned wpsync to.
# the $@ in the end passes your arguments through to wpsync
cd "$HOME/wpsync" && pipenv run wpsync $@

Don’t forget to make the script executable (chmod +x ~/bin/wpsync)!
(I use this workaround because I have no idea how to install a python package properly.)
