💅 BOTCH-GRAPH-DIFFERENCE(1) — bestie edition 🦋

okay so. this is botch-graph-difference, and it lives in the botch tools family. it's giving ✨comparison era✨ and honestly? it's so useful.

🌸 NAME 🌸

botch-graph-difference — graph diff. that's it, that's the whole vibe. graph diff!! 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

botch-graph-difference [options] g.xml h.xml

two files. one winner. (jk there's no winner, we're just comparing them, bestie 😭)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the way this works: you hand it two GraphML or dot files, and it finds out if they differ — and if they do, it shows you the difference. periodt. 💅

it's literally "spot the difference" but for graphs and no cap, it does not miss. 👑

💖 OPTIONS 💖

  • -h, --help — show help. classic. iconic. never fails you 🫶
  • -v, --verbose — be verbose. she's talking more now, let her cook 🍓

🎀 EXIT STATUS 🎀

listen closely because this is the part everyone skips and then gets confused:

  • if the files differ → the exit status is non-zero
  • otherwise → it's zero

so if your script is checking exit codes, no cap, that's your whole answer key. 💀

🙈 BUGS 🙈
