The `rad sync` command announces changes to the network and waits for other
nodes to be synchronized with those changes.
For instance let's create an issue and sync it with the network:
```
$ rad issue open --title "Test `rad sync`" --description "Check that the command works" -q --no-announce
```
If we check the sync status, we see that our peers are out of sync.
```
$ rad sync status --sort-by alias
╭──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ ● Node Address Status Tip Timestamp │
├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ ● alice (you) alice.radicle.xyz:8776 f209c9f [ ... ] │
│ ● bob z6Mkt67…v4N1tRk bob.radicle.xyz:8776 out-of-sync f209c9f [ ... ] │
│ ● eve z6Mkux1…nVhib7Z eve.radicle.xyz:8776 out-of-sync f209c9f [ ... ] │
╰──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯
```
Now let's run `rad sync`. This will announce the issue refs to the network and
wait for nodes to announce that they have fetched those refs.
```
$ rad sync --announce
✓ Synced with 2 node(s)
```
Now, when we run `rad sync status` again, we can see that `bob` and
`eve` are up-to-date:
```
$ rad sync status --sort-by alias
╭─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ ● Node Address Status Tip Timestamp │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ ● alice (you) alice.radicle.xyz:8776 9f615f9 [ ... ] │
│ ● bob z6Mkt67…v4N1tRk bob.radicle.xyz:8776 synced 9f615f9 [ ... ] │
│ ● eve z6Mkux1…nVhib7Z eve.radicle.xyz:8776 synced 9f615f9 [ ... ] │
╰─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯
```
If we try to sync again after the nodes have synced, we will already
be up to date.
```
$ rad sync --announce
✓ Nothing to announce, already in sync with network (see `rad sync status`)
```
We can also use the `--fetch` option to only fetch objects:
```
$ rad sync --fetch
✓ Fetching rad:z42hL2jL4XNk6K8oHQaSWfMgCL7ji from z6Mkt67…v4N1tRk..
✓ Fetching rad:z42hL2jL4XNk6K8oHQaSWfMgCL7ji from z6Mkux1…nVhib7Z..
✓ Fetched repository from 2 seed(s)
```
Specifying both `--fetch` and `--announce` is equivalent to specifying none:
```
$ rad sync --fetch --announce
✓ Fetching rad:z42hL2jL4XNk6K8oHQaSWfMgCL7ji from z6Mkt67…v4N1tRk..
✓ Fetching rad:z42hL2jL4XNk6K8oHQaSWfMgCL7ji from z6Mkux1…nVhib7Z..
✓ Fetched repository from 2 seed(s)
✓ Nothing to announce, already in sync with network (see `rad sync status`)
```
It's also possible to use the `--seed` flag to only sync with a specific node:
```
$ rad sync --fetch --seed z6Mkt67GdsW7715MEfRuP4pSZxJRJh6kj6Y48WRqVv4N1tRk
✓ Fetching rad:z42hL2jL4XNk6K8oHQaSWfMgCL7ji from z6Mkt67…v4N1tRk..
✓ Fetched repository from 1 seed(s)
```
And the `--replicas` flag to sync with a number of nodes. First we'll
create a new issue so that we have something to announce:
```
$ rad issue open --title "Test `rad sync --replicas`" --description "Check that the replicas works" -q --no-announce
```
```
$ rad sync --replicas 1
✓ Fetching rad:z42hL2jL4XNk6K8oHQaSWfMgCL7ji from z6Mkt67…v4N1tRk..
✓ Fetched repository from 1 seed(s)
✓ Synced with 1 node(s)
```
Note that we see `✓ Fetched repository from 1 seed(s)` and `✓ Synced
with 1 node(s)`. This does not necessarily mean that only `bob` or
`eve` were synchronized with, since they both could have received the
announcement of the new changes. However, it does mean that we only
wait for at least 1 of the nodes to have fetched the changes from us.
It's also possible to receive an error if a repository is not found anywhere.
```
$ rad seed rad:z39mP9rQAaGmERfUMPULfPUi473tY
✓ Seeding policy updated for rad:z39mP9rQAaGmERfUMPULfPUi473tY with scope 'all'
```
``` (fail)
$ rad sync rad:z39mP9rQAaGmERfUMPULfPUi473tY
✗ Error: no seeds found for rad:z39mP9rQAaGmERfUMPULfPUi473tY
✗ Error: nothing to announce, repository rad:z39mP9rQAaGmERfUMPULfPUi473tY is not available locally
