Debian changelog resolver

Used to easily resolve git merge conflicts for debian changelogs.

Currently only pure semantic versions are supported (MAJOR[.MINOR[.PATCH[.TWEAK]]]).

If resolver fails, it'll use default git merger as fallback.

Installation

Run python3 setup.py install command to install locally.

Setup git for single repo

A new merge driver must be created for git config.

Firstly you must enter your local git repo.

git config merge.dchmerge.driver "dchmerge.py %O %A %B"

Such command will create config entry in currently used .git/config.

In order to use this merge driver, a new attribute needs to be set.

If not present, create .gitattributes file in currently used git repo.

Add line: changelog merge=dchmerge

This will tell git to use newly created merge driver for every changelog file.

Setup git for every repo (per user)

Create merge driver:

git config --global merge.dchmerge.driver "dchmerge.py %O %A %B"

This command will create config entry in ~/.gitconfig.

Locate file ~/.config/git/attributes. If path/file doesn't exists, create it.

Add line: changelog merge=dchmerge
