syncthing [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/calmh/syncthing.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/calmh/syncthing) [![Coverage Status](https://img.shields.io/coveralls/calmh/syncthing.svg)](https://coveralls.io/r/calmh/syncthing?branch=master)
=========
This is the `syncthing` project. The following are the project goals:
1. Define a protocol for synchronization of a file repository between a
number of collaborating nodes. The protocol should be well defined,
unambiguous, easily understood, free to use, efficient, secure and
language neutral. This is the [Block Exchange
Protocol](https://github.com/calmh/syncthing/blob/master/protocol/PROTOCOL.md).
2. Provide the reference implementation to demonstrate the usability of
said protocol. This is the `syncthing` utility. It is the hope that
alternative, compatible implementations of the protocol will come to
exist.
The two are evolving together; the protocol is not to be considered
stable until syncthing 1.0 is released, at which point it is locked down
for incompatible changes.
