homeshick
git dotfiles synchronizer written in bash
In Unix, configuration files are king. Tailoring tools to suit your needs through configuration can be empowering. An immense number of hours is spent on getting these adjustments just right, but once you leave the confines of your own computer, these local optimizations are left behind. By the power of git, homeshick enables you to bring the symphony of settings you have poured your heart into with you to remote computers. With it you can begin to focus even more energy on bettering your work environment since the benefits are reaped on whichever machine you are using. However bare bones these machines are, provided that at least Bash 3 and Git 1.5 are available you can use homeshick. homeshick can handle multiple dotfile repositories. This means that you can install larger frameworks like oh-my-zsh or a multitude of emacs or vim plugins alongside your own customizations without clutter. -

SparkleShare
Share and collaborate by syncing with any Git repository
SparkleShare creates a special folder on your computer. You can add remotely hosted folders (or "projects") to this folder. These projects will be automatically kept in sync with both the host and all of your peers when someone adds, removes or edits a file. SparkleShare was made to cover certain use cases, but doesn't handle every scenario well. SparkleShare uses the version control system Git under the hood, so setting up a host yourself is relatively easy. Using your own host gives you more privacy and control, as well as lots of cheap storage space and higher transfer speeds. The idea of SparkleShare sprouted at the GNOME Usability Hackfest in London, where a couple of designers came to the conclusion that they didn't have a good (Open Source) collaboration tool to share their work. -

ownCloud
ownCloud web server core (Files, DAV, etc.)
ownCloud Core is the foundational server component of the ownCloud ecosystem, providing a self-hosted platform for secure file storage, synchronization, and sharing across devices and teams. It enables organizations and individuals to maintain full control over their data by running a personal cloud on their own infrastructure rather than relying on third-party providers. The software supports collaborative workflows by allowing users to upload, organize, and share files through a web interface, desktop sync clients, and mobile integrations. Designed with extensibility in mind, the core platform can be enhanced through apps and plugins that add capabilities such as document editing, authentication methods, and workflow automation. It is widely used in enterprise and privacy-focused environments because it combines open-source transparency with enterprise-grade controls and permissions. -

SyncManager
Sync manager that helps you sync your files across different locations
SyncManager is a custom-made lightweight synchronization manager that helps you synchronize files and folders across different locations. SyncManager lets you synchronize your data in two ways: manually or automatically. Manual syncing mode lets you decide what and when to synchronize data, while automatic syncing mode synchronizes data based on its average synchronization time. It also offers three distinct synchronization types: two-way, one-way, and one-way update, allowing you to synchronize data between folders in different ways. Plus, it has filtering and customizable versioning settings that help you to set synchronization more precisely. You can also decide how to handle old versions of files and folders: move them to the trash, delete them permanently, or version them in a special folder. The utility is operating as a fully automated solution that seamlessly launches at system startup. -
