SVK::Merge(3)

💖 SVK::Merge — the merge context class, bestie 💖

okay so this is SVK::Merge(3), straight out of the User Contributed Perl Documentation ✨ it's a Perl module and it's literally the class that holds your merge context, and we're gonna get you fluent in it, no cap 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use SVK::Merge;

SVK::Merge->auto (repos => $repos, src => $src, dst => $dst)->run ($editor, %cb);

that's the whole vibe right there 💅 auto builds it, run does it. slay.

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so the SVK::Merge class is for representing merge contexts — and by that we mainly mean: what delta is being used for this merge, and what target that delta applies to. that's the entire job. it holds the tea 🍓

give it the 3 SVK::Path objects:

• src
• dst
• base

and then SVK::Merge will be applying the delta (base, src) to dst. yep, that's the direction. base → src is the delta, and it lands on dst. iconic. 🦋

---

🎀 CONSTRUCTORS 🎀

new

takes parameters the usual way. no surprises, no drama, just vibes 💜

auto

like new, but the base object gets found automatically as the nearest ancestor of src and dst. it just knows. main character energy fr fr 👑

---

💅 METHODS 💅

• info — returns a string about how the merge is done. like, a lil status report on the merge situation 📝
• run — given the storage editor and SVK::Editor::Merge callbacks, apply the merge to the storage editor. and it returns the number of conflicts — so yeah, if that number isn't zero, that's your sign 😭 keep an eye on it bestie.

---

🌈 TODO 🌈

document the merge and ticket tracking mechanism. it's on the list, it's giving "we'll get to it" 🙈 (not me calling out the docs, but also... yeah.)
