Dracon Sync

Background, auto-commit, multi-remote — invisible git sync for developer workspaces.

This repository is the canonical standalone source for dracon-sync on GitHub, GitLab, and Codeberg. It contains the source code, Cargo.toml, tests, examples, and release metadata. You can build and install this utility directly from this repo.

Relationship to the monorepo

Boundary	Decision
Source code	This repository's main branch

Operational policy	~/.dracon/utilities/ TOML files

Why this name?

The descriptive name is a deliberate choice for Codeberg/Forgejo, where descriptive repo names get upvotes and free attention because readers immediately know what the project does. The full word list (no fillers, no audience/UX claims) is documented in docs/design/github-feature-repos.md.

Purpose

Watches configured repositories, waits for changes to settle (fingerprint stability / debounce), commits deterministic diff-based messages, and pushes to origin plus configured mirrors. Invisible: runs in the background, no user interaction required.

Runtime

• Binary: dracon-sync
• Service: dracon-sync.service
• Example policy: dracon-sync/dracon-sync.example.toml
• Common commands: dracon-sync status · dracon-sync repos · dracon-sync health · dracon-sync daemon

Maintenance

Changes are made in this standalone repository. The dracon-sync daemon watches it and pushes configured remotes; the parent meta workspace does not mirror source files into it.
