Oct 31, 2023 at 23:53 comment added halloleo If you only want the names of the changed files & directories, but not the auxiliary output of rsync ("sending incremental file list", etc), then use instead of -v the more granular option --info=NAME
Sep 8, 2023 at 22:54 comment added Wildcard You need to add a / at the end of source but NOT target: rsync -avnc $SOURCE/ $TARGET
Oct 31, 2017 at 5:42 comment added Tom Hale Please add --delete to list files only existing in $TARGET
Nov 26, 2016 at 22:29 comment added maxschlepzig @flungo, or just use a subset of the options implied by -a instead of -a, e.g. rsync -rlDcnv --delete $SOURCE $TARGET
Sep 30, 2016 at 17:31 comment added flungo If you only care that the data is the same you might want to add --no-group --no-owner --no-perms --no-times or some combination of these based on your needs.
