Hi alll
Im looking for a way to to mirror/auto populate a section of text in
another location in the same org buffer and/or other org file.
for example, i manage my config files in org mode for multiple machines. i
want to have a section like this
#+BEGIN_SRC conf :mkdirp yes :tangle ~/machine A
CODE
#+END_SRC
where the same content of CODE is mirroed/auto generated in another code
block for machine B
#+BEGIN_SRC conf :mkdirp yes :tangle ~/machine B
CODE
#+END_SRC
is this in anyway possible?

You cannot have real-time mirroring of content in the Org file itself.
But you can implement that DRY model by using Noweb references (See the
"Noweb reference syntax" node in the Org manual).
You can put the CODE in a separate src block with :noweb-ref set to foo,
and then wherever in other code blocks you want to mirror that, you simply
put <<foo>>.
As I said you won't see the mirroring happen live in the Org buffer. But
you will see the mirroring done in the exported files.
PS: For non-code mirroring (in exported files), there's also do:
#+INCLUDE: "./can-be-same-file.org::#CUSTOM_ID" :only-contents t
(See the "Include files" node in the Org manual for more.)

Hi again, i posted a separate issue on multiple code blocks in babel
creating 1 config but then realized this actually is very appropriate for
this thread...apologize for that.
@Kaushal, the method you suggested works really well for 1 code block=1
config file. but what happens when my config file is made out of 1 few
babel code blocks that i tangle together into 1 config file. for example:
* tmux conf
:PROPERTIES:
:header-args: :noweb yes :tangle /zeltak@132.72.155.204:~/.tmux.conf
:END:
***** Mouse
:PROPERTIES:
:ID: ba8ce7aa-2b3b-43be-816d-ea2ab515a999
:END:
#+BEGIN_SRC conf
#--------------> mouse
setw -g mouse on
set-option -g status-keys vi
#+END_SRC
***** Theme and look
:PROPERTIES:
:ID: 85257f51-1306-4caf-a055-a6df3afac1a5
:END:
#+BEGIN_SRC conf
#--------------> THEME AND LOOK
#default theme picker
source /home/zeltak/.tmux/neonB
#source /home/zeltak/.tmux/solarized-dark
#+END_SRC
how do i add a name (#+NAME) argument that covers all the sub headers that
will make '.tmux.conf'.
and then using noweb how does one reffer to that name <<tmux.conf>> that
will cover all the tiny blocks that create the tmux.conf?
best!

Ok found the answer "hidden" away in a org manual page.. :)
The solution it so to use ':noweb-ref NAME' as an argument in the drawer
sorry for the noise

Yes. I actually prefer to use that method. You need the #+NAME style block
naming only when you want to call a Noweb block with an argument.
