macOS 15.4 — rsync: empty remote host error after upgrade (solution included)

[blake-willoughby]

After upgrading to macOS 15.4, I started getting the following error when running wordmove push/pull:

rsync: empty remote host

Cause:
Apple replaced rsync with a version called openrsync.

Solution:

1. Install rsync via Homebrew:
   brew install rsync

2. Before running Wordmove, temporarily set your PATH to use Homebrew's rsync:
   export PATH="/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH"

3. Now you should be able to run your normal Wordmove commands.

This forces Wordmove to use rsync for the current terminal session only. It does not affect the rest of your system or macOS tools.

This fixed the issue for me without needing to modify system files or create wrapper scripts. Since I'm not too familiar with the specifics of these processes, I decided to go with this temporary approach. Hope it helps others.
