Are there any data replication libraries? Not just sending data.
1 project | /r/csharp | 17 Sep 2022

You might want to leverage something like libgit2 if you store that data in a unique location. After you commit changes to your data, you can find the patch differences in the file. Then store the commit hash and set up communication that wakes up when the hash changes. When the commit hash changes, you send just the patch changes to the clients which can apply them to their local copy.

Currently, my plan is to use LibGit2Sharp to do almost all the logic, and use System.IO to manage the local files. Problem is: LibGit2Sharp documentation is very sparse and hard to read.
