git-sync-daemon（git 同步守护进程）

Git Sync Daemon

Purpose

Provide a reusable, daemon-based git auto-sync workflow:

• one repo list file
• one daemon process
• per-repo lock and independent failure isolation
• service management on macOS and Linux

Files

• Engine: scripts/git_sync_daemon.sh
• Control CLI: scripts/git_sync_ctl.sh

Default Runtime Paths

• State dir: ~/.config/git-sync-daemon
• Repo list: ~/.config/git-sync-daemon/repos.conf
• Log file: ~/.config/git-sync-daemon/git-sync-daemon.log

Repo Entry Format

One line per repo:

/absolute/path/to/repo|remote=origin|branch=main|enabled=1

Supported keys:

• remote (default origin)
• branch (default current branch)
• enabled (1/0, true/false, default enabled)

Quick Start (macOS)

bash scripts/git_sync_ctl.sh init
bash scripts/git_sync_ctl.sh add-repo /Users/samwei12/Develop/config
bash scripts/git_sync_ctl.sh run-once
bash scripts/git_sync_ctl.sh install-launchd
bash scripts/git_sync_ctl.sh status

Quick Start (Linux)

bash scripts/git_sync_ctl.sh init
bash scripts/git_sync_ctl.sh add-repo /path/to/repo
bash scripts/git_sync_ctl.sh run-once
sudo bash scripts/git_sync_ctl.sh install-systemd
bash scripts/git_sync_ctl.sh status

Operations

• Add repo: bash scripts/git_sync_ctl.sh add-repo <path> [branch] [remote]
• Remove repo: bash scripts/git_sync_ctl.sh remove-repo <path>
• List repos: bash scripts/git_sync_ctl.sh list-repos
• One cycle now: bash scripts/git_sync_ctl.sh run-once
• Status/log tail: bash scripts/git_sync_ctl.sh status

Service lifecycle:

• macOS install: bash scripts/git_sync_ctl.sh install-launchd
• macOS uninstall: bash scripts/git_sync_ctl.sh uninstall-launchd
• Linux install: sudo bash scripts/git_sync_ctl.sh install-systemd
• Linux uninstall: sudo bash scripts/git_sync_ctl.sh uninstall-systemd

Production hardening checklist

Before enabling daemon mode in production:

1. SSH/auth baseline

• Ensure service user can run non-interactive git over SSH to each remote.
• Preload host keys (ssh-keyscan / StrictHostKeyChecking=accept-new) to avoid first-run failures.
• Prefer explicit key routing in ~/.ssh/config (host/user/port/IdentityFile/IdentitiesOnly).

1. Service identity consistency

• Install service with the same user that owns repo credentials and git config.
• Verify git config --global user.name/user.email for that service user.

1. Repo registration policy

• Register only clean, intended repos.
• Keep one canonical branch per repo entry; avoid detached HEAD targets.
• Use enabled=0 for temporary pauses instead of deleting lines.

1. Observability

• Keep logs in dedicated file and rotate externally if needed.
• Validate run-once before enabling persistent service.

Safety Notes

• The daemon does not force-push.
• Rebase conflicts are logged and isolated to the affected repo.
• If git-lfs is required by hooks but missing, that repo is skipped with explicit error log.
• On macOS launchd, PATH is expanded in both service env and daemon script to include Homebrew binaries.
• Recommended migration practice: first successful run should use baseline repos only; then gradually add more repos.
