Rsync

Question

Hi,

is there any way to use rsync in a custom deployment script in kudu? The command is missing from msysgit, which I understand to be the way kudu provides unix commands during deploys, correct?

I'm just trying to sync the node_modules folder of a nodejs website with a remote machine that executes the build (to get all the native modules to compile), and rsync seemed the way to go, but unfortunately I have no way to call rsync during the deploy process.

Any ideas or workarounds?

You're correct that all unix commands on the box where Kudu runs are coming from msysgit.

As for rsync, is it even something that's available on Windows? Admittedly, I am not very familiar with it.
