💖 VLMERGE 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the vlmerge manual page — this is the General Commands Manual entry, and yes it's giving "tiny page, enormous power". Let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

vlmerge — merge changes with VCS::Lite 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

vlmerge [options] original changed1 changed2

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So like, this manual page documents briefly the vlmerge command. Brief queen, keeping it cute, no notes 💀

vlmerge is a program that merges two changes against an original, using the VCS::Lite perl module. Three files go in, chaos gets resolved, we love that for us ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --output outfile — tells it where the merged results should go. main character option, honestly.
⚠️ heads up bestie: if --output is not specified, the results get put in place of the original file, and that original gets renamed to *.orig. So your old file isn't gone gone, it's just wearing a little .orig costume 🙈

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

go read those too, iykyk 🌈
