Command: Fetch

Using the Fetch Command

cp-remote fetch
cp-remote fe # alias

When the remote environment is rebuilt it may contain changes that you do not have on the local filesystem.

For example, for a PHP project part of building the remote environment could be installing the vendors using composer. Any new or updated vendors would be on the remote environment but not on the local filesystem which could cause issues, such as autocomplete in your IDE not working correctly. The fetch command will copy changes from the remote to the local filesystem. This will resync with the default container specified during setup but you can specify another container.

For example to resync with the web container:

cp-remote fetch web

To specify a specific remote project path use the --remote-project-path flag

cp-remote fetch --remote-project-path /public/sub-folder/

---

Ignoring Files

You can use .cp-remote-ignore to ignore files and directories when syncing.

This behaviour can be overridden for the fetch command by adding a .cp-remote-ignore-fetch file. Like .cp-remote-ignore it uses standard rsync excludes-from format:

• To exclude use: - /path/to/folder1/
• To include use: + /path/to/folder2/

Sync Threshold

By default the client will synchronise file changes individually up to a certain limit, which by default is 10. Above that threshold a full code scan for changes will be made, which could potentially be slower. If you are editing a large number of files, you should consider upping the default minimum threshold using the --individual-file-sync-threshold flag:

cp-remote fetch --individual-file-sync-threshold=20
