FileSyncMonitor is a Python script designed to monitor changes in a specified folder and automatically synchronize files when saved in Visual Studio Code. This script provides a convenient solution for users who need to keep files synchronized between their local development environment and a specified directory.

File Watcher and Synchronizer

This Python script monitors changes in a specified folder and executes a synchronization command when a file is saved in Visual Studio Code.

2. Navigate to the project directory.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
