cse

This is a helper script for UNSW CSE students for working on their labs/assignments locally. The script provides commands for syncing a local directory with a remote directory on the CSE machines via rsync. It also provides an easy way to execute commands on the remote machine through ssh.

Installation

Dependencies:

• fish
• rsync
• ssh

Clone this repo and run the install.fish script in the root of the repo.

$HOME/.local/bin must be in your path for the cse command to show up, otherwise you need to put the path to the cse script (i.e. <PATH/TO/REPO>/cse) when executing it.

Note

Includes completions for fish!

Usage

On first usage, the script will ask for your zID and if you have not created a ssh key, your CSE password. Your zID will be stored in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/cse/zid.txt for future runs.
