A useful pattern for tilde work: keep a local git repo that mirrors your tilde home directory plus server configs. Author changes locally, then push to tilde via rsync and to a git remote for backup.

alias gs='git status'
alias ga='git add'
alias gc='git commit'
alias gp='git push'
alias gl='git log --oneline'
alias gd='git diff'

rsync -avz ./dir/ tilde.town:~/
# Runs: rsync -avz <excludes> . tilde.town:~

Excludes: .ssh, mbox, .DS_Store, node_modules, _site, .git
