LexManos/ProPatcher

A Gradle plugin for creating patch files between two directories.

ProPatcher

ProPatcher is a Gradle plugin for creating patch files on the go.

ProPatcher requires Java 1.8

Installation

ProPatcher has been added to Gradle's plugin portal, and can be used using the new plugin mechanism introduced in Gradle 2.1. You can find the plugin here.

plugins {
    id 'uk.jamierocks.propatcher' version '1.2.3'
}

For those of you, using builds where you cannot utilise the new plugin mechanism, or are using a version of Gradle prior to 2.1, here is the old example:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven {
            url 'https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/'
        }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'gradle.plugin.uk.jamierocks:propatcher:1.2.3'
    }
}

apply plugin: 'uk.jamierocks.propatcher'

Example

patches {
    root = file('root') // This is a directory
    target = file('target') // This is also a directory
    patches = file('patches') // This is again a directory
}

Tasks

Name	Description
makePatches	Make all necessary patch files.
applyPatches	Apply all patches to the target.
resetSources	Resets the target, to it's original unmodified state.
