315+### Syncing repos
316+
317+A useful pattern is to work from a git repo and sync your work with the pier of
318+a fake ship. An easy way to do this is with the following command:
319+
320+```
321+watch rsync -zr --delete /working/repo/desk/* /path/to/fake/zod/mydesk
322+```
323+
324+Here `/working/repo/desk` is the folder that has the proper desk structure
325+outlined above, and `/path/to/fake/zod/mydesk` is the desk you wish to copy the
326+contents of the working repo to. From here, you can edit from the working repo
327+and perform git commands there, while testing your changes on the fake ship.
