Is there a difference between

garden sync-start api --deploy

and

garden deploy api --sync

except that the latter starts the dev console? So in terms of what gets built/deployed/synced to

Not in terms of what's supposed to happen, built, deployed, synced etc. If there actually is a difference, I'd file that as a bug. But the former is expected to exit after deploy + sync start, the latter not.

Ok thanks. I suspect there's a bug but need to investigate. The observed behaviour is that syncs don't always start with the

sync-start --deploy

command whereas they do with

deploy --sync

, but again, haven't dug deep.
