Been trying to get acquainted with rsync(1) but, whenever I Tab for completion and get this:
> Ξ» ~/ rsync --
> zsh: do you wish to see all 484 possibilities (162 lines)?
I'm like: Nope! a scp -rpCq ... or whatever option salad will do just fine. π
[Insert: "Ain't nobody got time fo'that!" Meme.]
@aelaraji Rsync has a ton of options and I probably still haven't scratched the surface, but I was able to memorize the options I actually need for day-to-day work in a relatively short time. I guess I'm the opposite of you, because I don't know any scp(1) options.
@aelaraji rsync -zaXAP is what I use all the time. But thatβs all β for the rest, I have to consult the manual. π

@aelaraji @mckinley rsync -avzr with an optional --progress is what I always use. Ah, I could use the shorter -P, thanks @movq.
@aelaraji I think all replies are missing the fact that your auto-completion isn't working. LOL. Or did I misunderstood?

@lyse and @movq thanks for sharing those options, they're a good point to start from. Much appreciated! π

I usually end up using -rtz because I'm usually not 100% sure all the permissions and ownership information are right and I hate littering directories with inconsistent permissions. For a big transfer, I'll start with -rtvz --stats --dry-run and make sure it's only transferring the files it should, then I'll do -rtz --stats --info=progress2 --no-i-r to get one progress bar to watch for the whole transfer.
