Introduction

What Nimbus is and why you might use it.

Nimbus is a small command-line tool for syncing local folders to cloud storage. It watches a directory, batches changes, and uploads them to a target you configure — S3, GCS, or any S3-compatible endpoint.

Why Nimbus

• Single binary. No daemon to manage separately; nimbus watch runs in the foreground or under your process supervisor of choice.
• Resumable. Interrupted transfers pick up where they left off instead of restarting.
• Pluggable. Hooks let you run a command before or after each sync (see Plugins).

How the docs are organized

• Getting Started — install Nimbus and run your first sync.
• Guides — workspace layout, configuration, auth, sync strategies, plugins, and troubleshooting.
• Reference — the full CLI command list, environment variables, FAQ, and changelog.
