'adb push only if file doesn't exist or has changed

For a program I am using ADB to transfer a file from the computer to mobile phone.

Using adb push overwrites every existent file and thus takes ages to finish. adb sync does only push the file if it exists on the phone AND contains other data than the local version.

Is there any midway solution? I want the file to be transferred if it doesn't exist or is changed, but not, if it is the same as on the computer. Is there a way to achieve this?

adb


Solution 1:[1]

There's a really easy way to do this with adb-sync (https://github.com/google/adb-sync).

adb-sync is a tool to synchronize files between a PC and an Android device using the ADB (Android Debug Bridge).

Solution 2:[2]

adb push --sync /local/file /sdcard/remote/file

From adb --help

adb push [--sync] [-zZ] LOCAL... REMOTE copy local files/directories to device --sync: only push files that are newer on the host than the device. -z: enable compression -Z: disable compression
