spdx3merge 0.0.2

Merge SPDX 3 data files

Merge SPDX 3 Document

A tool to merge SPDX 3 Documents

Installation

spdx3merge can be installed using pip:

python3 -m pip install spdx3merge

Usage

In a basic form, spdx3merge will merge multiple input documents into a single output document. To specify the input documents, use the --input or -i arguments. The output document is specified with --output or -o.

The first input document specified is considered the "root" document; that is all of its root elements will be copied to the output document root elements.

In order to generate proper output document, at least one --author- argument must be specified. The easiest is to use --author-person and specify your name. For other author options, see spdx3merge --help.

Here is a complete example:

spdx3merge \
    --input A.spdx.json \
    --input B.spdx.json \
    --input C.spdx.json \
    --output out.spdx.json \
    --author-person "Joshua Watt"

If you are going to read the document, you'll most likely also want the --pretty option to make it more readable
