grunt deploy:production gives rsync error about wordpress-starter-theme

[mattbanks]

Code 1 for rsync is a syntax error. I'm wondering if Windows needs a different path setup for src instead of ./. Try playing around with that. If that doesn't work, try posting an issue in https://github.com/jedrichards/grunt-rsync or https://github.com/jedrichards/rsyncwrapper (the engine actually driving rsync through Node.js)

Busy month, just now getting back to this. I think you're right that using command prompt to run shell commands and syntax is the problem, thus ./ isn't recognized. I installed Cygwin and get a EINVAL, invalid argument error instead of code 1. Windows doesn't like rsync syntax! Guess this just isn't Windows friendly for now.

This turned out to be user error. Unfortunately the Cygwin installation was a necessity and I needed to enable both Rsync and OpenSSH in order for rsync to send the files properly. Annoying but resolved.

Ah, gotcha. Glad it's resolved!
