Quick Start
Run your first sync in under a minute.
1. Initialize a workspace
mkdir my-workspace && cd my-workspace
nimbus init
This creates nimbus.config.json, .nimbusignore, and an empty data/ folder (see
Project Structure).
2. Set a sync target
nimbus config set target s3://my-bucket/backups
3. Run a sync
nimbus sync
✓ Scanned data/ (128 files, 4.2 MB)
✓ Uploaded 12 changed files
✓ Synced in 1.8s
4. Watch for changes
nimbus watch
watch keeps running in the foreground and syncs automatically whenever files under data/
change. Press Ctrl+C to stop.
