adb-sync is a command-line utility designed to synchronize files between a PC and an Android device over the Android Debug Bridge (ADB). It simplifies the process of transferring and mirroring directories without requiring root access or complex configuration. By comparing file states between the host and the device, adb-sync efficiently updates only changed files, reducing transfer time and bandwidth usage. The tool also supports reverse synchronization, allowing users to copy data from an Android device back to their PC. While this project has been deprecated in favor of better-adb-sync, it remains a lightweight and effective option for managing file transfers and backups over USB debugging connections.

A simple file manager written in bash. Minimal (only requires bash and coreutils). Smooth Scrolling (using vim keybindings). Tab completion for all commands! Automatic CD on exit (see setup). Works as a file picker in vim/neovim (link)! Display images with w3m-img! Supports $CDPATH. You only need to modify the keybindings that you'd like to change from the default. fff will run perfectly fine without any of these defined. When rebinding a key in fff make sure you don't have two bindings with the same value. You can avoid this by setting the other conflicting key-binding to something else or by changing its value to off.

There has been a tremendous amount of work done on this project (years, including lots of new filetypes) that has yet to be well-tested, cleaned up and uploaded, so please be patient and occasionally check back.
