grafana-sync - Keeps your Grafana dashboards in sync

At each time that it's run, grafana-sync gathers information about dashboards from a particular source of truth (a grafana deployment) and then updates the state of the filesystem to reflect such source.

ps.: assumes use of the folders feature from grafana 5+
