Automatically sync using Unison

I am new to unison- the file synchronizing software.

I use unison to sync files between my local machine and a remote server. However, I have to do the synchronization manually every time.

Is there a way to trigger unison to synchronize automatically whenever a change is detected in the local folders set to be synchronized?

My OS : Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Yes. Check out the repeat = watch option.

Or if you want more control over what is watched and exactly what events trigger unison to run, check out inotify-tools and write a small script that runs in the background.
