Rsync for moving files and backing up.

The ultimate it-just-works CLI tool.

Although I have never understood why it’s called rsync, because you need to add --recursive to make it actually sync a file tree, which is what it does best.

I think rsync is short for remote sync

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
