From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Speed conpared to rsync? Hash speed and cpu load compared? Need shell access for ssh? What about two devices across firewalls and internet which you can't control? I think one of the usecase is only sync when you have WiFi. Still want android apk for my lazy ass. Good project
Thanks! I've done some testing, nothing scientific, but I can tell you it transfers at about the same speed as other tools I tested, usually limited by network speed. I spent quite some time optimizing how small files are packaged together for transfer, so there's no slowdown even with many small files compared to a single file of the same total size. Android APK idea is not bad though! I've published 2 Android apps before so will definitely look into it. Current Termux terminal approach is definitely not very user friendly.
