projectdiffview

Utility to make managing project directories easier.

Developer Install

1. Clone the repo
2. cd projectdiffview
3. Create a virtual environment with virtualenv .venv
4. Activate that environment
5. pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
6. pre-commit install
7. pip install -e .
8. tox

Regular Install

1. Clone the repo
2. cd projectdiffview
3. pip install -e .

Changing the template path

Open defaults.py in a text editor and update the template_directory to the correct path. The application should be able to support any path that pathlib supports. You may have to re-install with pip install -e . from the root directory.

template_directory = Path(__file__).parents[1].joinpath("template")

Updating the builtin template

Git does not allow you to store empty directories, so there is an empty .keep file in every "empty" directory.
