Common File Distribution

A simple utility for copying files from a one or more source directories to one or more destination directories (per source). A need to replicate core files among applications in microservice architecture was the inspiration for this project.

Example distribution configuration file:

{
  "Distributions": [
    {

      "SourceDirectory": "C:\\Users\\me\\Desktop\\SrcExample",
      "DestinationDirectories": [ "C:\\Users\\me\\Desktop\\DestExample1", "C:\\Users\\me\\Desktop\\DestExample2" ],
      "FileNameMaskRegex": ".+\\.cs"
    }
  ]
}

Running dotnet-script version

A version of this tool for running with dotnet-script is included in this repository at src/dotnet-script/app.csx.

Full documentation for dotnet-script is here: https://github.com/filipw/dotnet-script

To run using dotnet-script, you need to have the .NET Core 2.2 runtime installed.

If you do not have dotnet-script installed you can then install the tool using:

dotnet tool install -g dotnet-script

Navigate your terminal to the directory in this repository src/dotnet-script.

Run > dotnet script app.csx

Running remotely

Since dotnet-script allows for running of scripts from remote locations, you can run the .csx script file without downloading this repository. You will need a copy of a file in the FileDistributions.json format to direct the file dsitribution.
