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.
