github.com/kayoticsully/syncthing@v0.8.9-0.20140724133906-c45a2fdc03f8/README.md (about) 1 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) 2 ========= 3 4 This is the `syncthing` project. The following are the project goals: 5 6 1. Define a protocol for synchronization of a file repository between a 7 number of collaborating nodes. The protocol should be well defined, 8 unambiguous, easily understood, free to use, efficient, secure and 9 language neutral. This is the [Block Exchange 10 Protocol](https://github.com/calmh/syncthing/blob/master/protocol/PROTOCOL.md). 11 12 2. Provide the reference implementation to demonstrate the usability of 13 said protocol. This is the `syncthing` utility. It is the hope that 14 alternative, compatible implementations of the protocol will come to 15 exist. 16 17 The two are evolving together; the protocol is not to be considered 18 stable until syncthing 1.0 is released, at which point it is locked down 19 for incompatible changes. 20 21 Getting Started 22 --------------- 23 24 Take a look at the [getting started guide](http://discourse.syncthing.net/t/getting-started/46). 25 26 Signed Releases 27 --------------- 28 29 As of v0.7.0 and onwards, git tags and release binaries are GPG signed with 30 the key BCE524C7 (http://nym.se/gpg.txt). The signature is included in the 31 normal release bundle as `syncthing.asc` or `syncthing.exe.asc`. 32 33 Documentation 34 ============= 35 36 The [syncthing 37 documentation](http://discourse.syncthing.net/category/documentation) is 38 on the discourse site. 39 40 License 41 ======= 42 43 All documentation and protocol specifications are licensed 44 under the [Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International 45 License](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/). 46 47 All code is licensed under the [MIT 48 License](https://github.com/calmh/syncthing/blob/master/LICENSE).
