positional arguments:
  src                   The source files
  dest                  The destination file

optional arguments:
  -d, --dry-run         Print the merged content on stdout instead of writing
                        it to the destination file

                        Type of file can be one of 'ini', 'json' or 'yaml'. If
                        not specified the type will be guessed from the file
                        extension
  --debug               Print debug trace on error
  --version             Print the program version and exit

Examples

Merge multiple INI files and write result into res.ini

confmerge -f 1.ini 2.ini 3.ini res.ini

Merge different types of configuration files:

confmerge -f 1.yml 2.json 3.ini res.yml

Perform a dry run (don't write output file but print result on stdout):

confmerge --dry-run 1.yml 2.yml not-touched.yml
