## Two-Way Bookmark Sync Between Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome
### Description
This project provides a simple automation script to synchronize bookmarks between Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome based on the last modified file. It uses a batch script to compare the modification times of the bookmark files in both browsers, ensuring that the most recent bookmarks are always up-to-date across both platforms.
### Features
- **Automatic Bookmark Synchronization**: Syncs the latest modified bookmarks between Edge and Chrome.
- **Customizable Scheduling**: Use Task Scheduler to run the script automatically at specified intervals or events.
- **Simple and Lightweight**: Minimal dependencies, only requiring a batch script and Task Scheduler.
### Requirements
- Windows operating system.
- Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge installed.
- Basic understanding of batch scripting and Task Scheduler.
### Setup Instructions
1. **Clone the Repository**:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/0xf4r/edge-chrome-bookmark-sync.git
cd edge-chrome-bookmark-sync
```
2. **Update the Script**:
- Open `sync_bookmarks.bat` and replace `USERNAME` with your actual Windows username.
3. **Batch Script**: `sync_bookmarks.bat`
```batch
@echo off
setlocal
REM Define paths to the bookmark files for Edge and Chrome
set CHROME_BOOKMARKS="C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Bookmarks"
set EDGE_BOOKMARKS="C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Bookmarks"
REM Get the last modified times of the bookmark files
for %%f in (%CHROME_BOOKMARKS%) do set CHROME_MODIFIED=%%~tf
for %%f in (%EDGE_BOOKMARKS%) do set EDGE_MODIFIED=%%~tf
REM Compare the last modified times and sync accordingly
if "%CHROME_MODIFIED%" GTR "%EDGE_MODIFIED%" (
copy /Y %CHROME_BOOKMARKS% %EDGE_BOOKMARKS%
echo Chrome bookmarks were newer and copied to Edge.
) else (
copy /Y %EDGE_BOOKMARKS% %CHROME_BOOKMARKS%
echo Edge bookmarks were newer and copied to Chrome.
)
endlocal
```
4. **Set Up Task Scheduler**:
- Open Task Scheduler.
- Create a new task to run `sync_bookmarks.bat` at your desired schedule (e.g., daily or at logon).
### Usage
- Run the batch script manually or let it run automatically through Task Scheduler.
- The script will check which browser's bookmarks were modified last and sync them to the other browser.
### Example
```bash
# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/0xf4r/edge-chrome-bookmark-sync.git
# Customize the script with your paths
notepad sync_bookmarks.bat
# Run the script manually or set up Task Scheduler to automate
```
