[Linux-disciples] Rsync includes and excludes

[Stephen R Laniel]

Rsync includes and excludes have always confused me, for
some reason; maybe it's because I don't write rsync command
lines very often. In any case, here's what I want to do:
include only the directory ~/private/consulting gigs, and
exclude everything else. I thought that

rsync -r --exclude '**' --include ~/private/consulting_gigs / remoteUser at domain.com

would do the trick, but it doesn't: no files get backed up.
I'm sure that it's because of the "--exclude '**'",
obviously, but how do I get what I want? I'm sure it's
simple.
