Description

The target users for this extension are developers who like to set up the catalog attributes, attribute sets and attribute groups using setup scripts instead of the Magento backend.
Right now the following methods are available:

clearCategoryTable
copyAttributeSet
groupExistsInSet
addAttributeOptionsIfNotPresent
addProductTypeToAttributeApplyTo
getMaxAttributeOptionSortOrder
addAttributeStoreLabelsByStore
addAttributeStoreLabelsByLocale

If needed I'll add more methods as I need them.

Simply install the extension. No configuration required.

Compatibility

Only tested with magento 1.8
