User:Ciotog/Unison (software)

Unison is a cross-platform, bi-directional file synchronization utility.

Unison primarily uses the rsync algorithm, but is capable of using different sync routines depending on the file type.

History
Unison was initially developed as a research project by Benjamin Pierce at the University of Pennsylvania using a research language Pict in 1995, rewritten in Java in 1997, and finally Objective Caml in 1998.
