Bytelift is a fast file synchronization tool for developers.

curl https://bytelift.io/setup.sh > setup.sh && bash setup.sh

Bytelift was designed for remote development, where you write code locally and synchronize it to a remote server to run it. The two main design goals are:

• Latency: a file saved on one machine should arrive on the other machine(s) as quickly as possible.
• Ease of use: Bytelift uses a centralized server to help machines discover each other, and can remotely install itself via SSH. (All data is stored locally, not on the centralized server.)

Features

Although latency and ease of use are the main design goals, Bytelift also offers decent throughput, constant-time snapshots of directory state, end-to-end encryption, and bidirectional synchronization among an unlimited number of peers. Bytelift works on Windows, MacOS, and Linux, and is distributed as a standalone executable with no dependencies.
