.TH sparkleshare 1 "August 16, 2010" "version 0.2" "USER COMMANDS" .SH NAME sparkleshare \- sharing work made easy .SH SYNOPSIS .B sparkleshare [start|stop|restart|help] .SH DESCRIPTION A file sharing system for the desktop that retains a full history of changes made, and allows work to be sychronized across many systems. Based on the underlying `git' version control system, sparkleshare is fast and secure, but the interface is straightforward enough for all to use. .SH OPTIONS .TP start Start the sparkleshare system, presenting an introductory dialog if this is the first time that it has been run. .TP stop Stop sparkleshare, halting all current file sharing and no longer watch for changes in the configured shares. .TP restart Restart sparkleshare. .SH RETURN VALUES Currently sparkleshare only ever returns 0 on exit. .SH FILES .TP ~/SparkleShare Directories set up to be shared are placed under this directory. .SH BUGS SparkleShare is currently under development, it is likely that there are a number of bugs present in the system. Since the underlying file sharing is simply based on `git', even if SparkleShare itself fails, the data is retrievable in an open format. On-disk corruption is extremely unlikely.
