usage

rivet sync --auth "username:password" --url data.kitware.com path/to/local/dir girder://somegirderfolderid

to avoid passing credentials multiple times, use rivet configure.

limitations

Due to the difficulty in representing Girder items in the context of a POSIX filesystem, items with 0 files and items with multiple files are ignored. There is no way to use rivet to upload or download these.

Additionally, rivet doesn't attempt to sync item or folder metadata. It's purely a tool for syncing blobs of data to their respective folders.

If you require support for these use cases, consider a more comprehensive tool such as girder-client.
