There's already rsync which does syncing between two directories, which can be run via crontab. Which runs periodically to keep files in sync. There's tool called lsyncd that runs as a daemon, and monitors directories for any changes, if it find changes at the source, it syncs immediately.

The configuration file is /etc/lsyncd.conf, the format of the file is based on the LUA language format. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lua_(programming_language)

Have a look in the following directory for examples

$ pwd
/usr/share/doc/lsyncd-2.1.5/examples

In a simple config:

settings = {
	statusFile = "/tmp/lsyncd.stat",
	statusInterval = 1,
}

sync{
	default.rsync,
	source="src",
	target="trg",
}
