“Unison is a powerful file and directory synchronization tool
that, unlike popular tools like rsync, can perform two-way
synchronization. With Unison, you can sync files between your work
computer and home desktop, and any changes done at one machine will
be reflected at the other.

“Unison runs on a variety on operating systems, including Linux,
Windows, Solaris, and Mac OS X, and you can sync files across
machines running different platforms. However, Unison is
version-sensitive – if versions are not the same across the
machines, there is a high probability that files will not be
synchronized properly.”
