NAME

xxdiff-scripts - Tools that allow automation of tasks with xxdiff

SYNOPSIS

xx-cvs-diff, xx-svn-diff, xx-*
 

DESCRIPTION

xxdiff(1) is a graphical file and directories comparison and merge tool.
xxdiff-scripts is a collection of python scripts around xxdiff that allows automation of various diff, review and merge tasks using xxdiff.

COMMANDS

All the programs in xxdiff-scripts script collection support the usual GNU command line syntax and have a --help option that has detailed information about the options supported.
svn-foreign
svn-foreign runs 'svn status' on the given Subversion checkout directories, to find out which files are unaccounted for and allows dealing with the files interactively.
termdiff
This is a single file, curses-based version of xxdiff in Python (work-in-progress).
xx-cond-replace
xx-cond-replace is a script to conditionally replace an original by a generated file.
xx-cvs-diff
xx-cvs-diff invokes 'cvs diff' with the given file arguments, and allows a xxdiff preview of the current changes made in a cvs checkout.
xx-cvs-revcmp
xx-cvs-revcmp displays file differences with the current or a previous CVS version.
xx-diff-proxy
xx-diff-proxy is a wrapper script for xxdiff that presents options that are the same as the diff or diff3 commands. This can be used with programs that expect to call diff/diff3 to present differences to users, and can be configured with a different diff program.
xx-encrypted
xx-encrypted is a script to compare and merge contents of encrypted files relatively safely.
xx-filter
xx-filter walks a directory hierarchy, selects some files to be processed, performs replacements in files and confirms the application of changes via xxdiff.
xx-find-grep-sed
xx-find-grep-sed walks a directory hierarchy, selects some files to be processed and performs global sed-like replacements in the set of files.
xx-hg-merge
xx-hg-merge implements an interface compatible with hgmerge. Basically, it needs to exit with 0 on success, and to place the results of the merge in the 'left' file.
xx-match
xx-match is a script for invoking xxdiff on matching files using the basename of the files.
xx-p4-unmerge
A wrapper script that will split up a p4 file with merge conflicts to three files and invoke xxdiff on it.
xx-pyline
xx-pyline walks a directory hierarchy, selects some files to be processed and runs a given Python code on each line of the input. xxdiff is presented to confirm application of the changes.
xx-rename
xx-rename walks a directory hierarchy, selects some files to be processed and perform a replacement of a one string to another in the files and confirm the application of changes via xxdiff.
xx-sql-schemas
xx-sql-schemas dumps the schemas for two PostgreSQL databases, re-orders the contents so that they diff nicely, and spawns xxdiff on the results.
xx-svn-diff
xx-svn-diff invokes xxdiff for all modified files in the given Subversion checkout area.
xx-svn-resolve
xx-svn-resolve invokes xxdiff with a 3-way merge view for all files in a Subversion checkout whose conflicts need to be resolved. Depending on the exit status, xxdiff also calls 'svn resolve' on the files.
xx-svn-review
xx-svn-review exports two SVN revision and reviews them.
