* ✨ feat: Add interactive rsync script This commit introduces a new interactive rsync script that allows users to visually select specific files and directories for synchronization. The script provides the following features: - Interactive file/directory selection - Color-coded interface for better visibility - Multiple file selection support - Progress indication during transfer - Automatic destination directory creation - Input validation and error handling The script is designed to simplify the rsync process by eliminating the need for complex command-line arguments, making it more user-friendly and accessible for a wider audience. * ✨ feat: Add file size display and transfer confirmation This commit adds the following improvements to the interactive-rsync script: - Displays the file/directory size next to each item in the selection menu. - Adds a confirmation prompt before starting the transfer to ensure the user is ready. - Allows the user to specify file patterns to exclude from the transfer. - Displays a summary of the successful and failed transfers at the end of the process. These changes enhance the user experience by providing more information and control over the file transfer process.

- Multiple file selection support
- File/directory size display
- Pattern-based file exclusion (e.g., _.tmp, _.log)
