## Mind the Trailing Slash (/) in rsync Paths
9
10
When using rsync, the presence or absence of a trailing slash (/) on the source path changes how files are copied:
11
12
13
- ✅ With a trailing slash (/path/to/local_dir/):
14
15
→ rsync copies the contents of the directory into the destination.
16
17
(This is what you usually want.)
18
19
- ⚠️ Without a trailing slash (/path/to/local_dir):
20
21
→ rsync copies the entire folder itself (as a subdirectory) into the destination.
22
23
(This can accidentally create an extra nested folder.)
