Installation and Setup
To install run pip install --user compsheet
from the terminal.
To run type
python3 -m compsheet
followed by the various inputs and flags. It is recommended that the user establish the alias compsheet
for easy usage.
To do this, edit the file .bashrc
from the home directory and add the line
alias compsheet='python3 -m compsheet'
to the end. One can do this in their favourite editor or simply open a terminal and type
echo "alias compsheet='python3 -m compsheet'" >> .bashrc
into the prompt and press enter.
Some basic examples of usage:
python3 -m compsheet # show help message with no alias
compsheet -h # show help message
compsheet # compare all files in current directory
compsheet ./dirname # compare all files in directory 'dirname'
compsheet -d ./dirname # do a dry run: write no files.
compsheet --explain # print description of table headers
