You can do that with things like rsync or possibly etckeep or similar.
But depending on what you are syncing, if the machines are not
identical, it can be a real problem.
The correct way would be to use a config management system, like
cfengine, chef, puppet, etc. But learning, setting up and running
those is a lot of work for just two machines.
