ok bestie, gather round, because this is the manual page for octocatalog-diff — a lil User Commands baddie that will literally change your Puppet life 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

octocatalog-diff — compile and compare Puppet catalogs. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

octocatalog-diff [options]

yes bestie, it's just options. no positional args to stress about, no drama. 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so octocatalog-diff is a tool to detect and display differences in Puppet catalogs compiled from different environments. it's giving detective energy, but for catalogs 🔍✨

and the way it can get those catalogs?? lowkey iconic, because it's not just one way, it's any of these:

  • Compilation using a local puppet instance
  • Puppet master 3.x/4.x HTTP API
  • PuppetDB HTTP API
  • Precompiled JSON catalogs

like, pick your fighter, bestie, it does not care 💅

also important: octocatalog-diff filters out attributes or resources with no effect (e.g. tags) and displays only state differences between the two catalogs. so no, you will not be drowning in noise. it's giving curated.

and the best part?? it does not require a working Puppet master (or puppetserver). nope. not needed. which makes it suitable for development use and use in Continuous Integration environments. main character tool behavior, no cap 👑
