ddir 1.0.0

Diff a directory and sync changes.

ddir

ddir is a command line tool to calculate diffs between two directories and resolve them.

Check out the diff file format as well.

Usage

Initialize

This will create a directory .ddir in the source directory where all diffs will be stored as well as a reference to the destination directory.

ddir init --source <path> --destination <path>

Create diff

This will traverse the source directory, compare it to the destination directory and store ste diff in .ddir.

ddir create --source <path>

Resolve diff

This will iterate through all diffs in a given diff file and apply them according to given modes.

ddir resolve --source <path> --file 2022-05-19-806383729.diff --modes xxxxx

Modes to resolve

The modes work like this: for each type (the order is +, -, >, <, ?) a number in the tuple indicates how to handle diffs of that type. There are the following modes:

• 0: skip
• 1: apply (type dependent, see below)
• 2: choose manually

When choosing to apply diffs, the following will happen:

• +, >, ?: override destination element with source element
• <: override source element with destination element
• -: delete destination element
