## Mind the Trailing Slash (/) in rsync Paths
12
13
When using rsync, the presence or absence of a trailing slash (/) on the source path changes how files are copied:
14
15
16
- ✅ With a trailing slash (/path/to/local_dir/):
17
18
→ rsync copies the contents of the directory into the destination.
19
20
(This is what you usually want.)
21
22
- ⚠️ Without a trailing slash (/path/to/local_dir):
23
24
→ rsync copies the entire folder itself (as a subdirectory) into the destination.
25
26
(This can accidentally create an extra nested folder.)
