+## Synopsis
+
+Perform bidirectonal synchronization between two paths.
+
+[Bisync](https://rclone.org/bisync/) provides a
+bidirectional cloud sync solution in rclone.
+It retains the Path1 and Path2 filesystem listings from the prior run.
+On each successive run it will:
+- list files on Path1 and Path2, and check for changes on each side.
+  Changes include `New`, `Newer`, `Older`, and `Deleted` files.
+- Propagate changes on Path1 to Path2, and vice-versa.
+
+See [full bisync description](https://rclone.org/bisync/) for details.

+rclone bisync remote1:path1 remote2:path2 [flags]
+```
+
+## Options
+
+```
+      --check-access            Ensure expected RCLONE_TEST files are found on both Path1 and Path2 filesystems, else abort.
+      --check-filename string   Filename for --check-access (default: RCLONE_TEST)
+      --check-sync string       Controls comparison of final listings: true|false|only (default: true) (default "true")
+      --filters-file string     Read filtering patterns from a file
+      --force                   Bypass --max-delete safety check and run the sync. Consider using with --verbose
+  -h, --help                    help for bisync
+      --localtime               Use local time in listings (default: UTC)
+      --no-cleanup              Retain working files (useful for troubleshooting and testing).
+      --remove-empty-dirs       Remove empty directories at the final cleanup step.
+  -1, --resync                  Performs the resync run. Path1 files may overwrite Path2 versions. Consider using --verbose or --dry-run first.
+      --workdir string          Use custom working dir - useful for testing. (default: $HOME/.cache/rclone/bisync)
+```
