I think this will copy your 9gb Mozilla cache directory as well? Still one liners like this is all you need lol

My mozilla cache would be under ~/.mozilla/firefox. Is the nightly version moving to ~/.config?

Reason I say would be is that I disable disk cache among other things performed by Arkenfox [1]

What does config have to do with the one liner?

Prevents some data from ending up in ~/.mozilla. We dont sync what does not exist.

My guy, the one liner as written copies all dot files. Mozilla included

Any sufficiently-advanced automated rsync would have a filter for caches.

Except only ssh is filtered. Just commenting on what I see, not what should be

		For sure, you need to exclude whatever "dotfiles" you don't want copied (or explicitly copy the ones you want), particularly caches and other giant hidden things.

Overriding HOME variable is neat! Make things much easier.

I use something similar.

It's surprising to me how many projects can be replaced with just a line or two of shell script. This project is a slightly more sophisticated shell script that exposes a friendlier UI, but I don't see why it's needed when the alternative is much simpler, considering the target audience.
