Merge multiple configuration files into one file

positional arguments:
  src                   The source files
  dest                  The destination file

optional arguments:
  -d, --dry-run         Print the merged content on stdout instead of writing
                        it to the destination file
  -f, --force           Force overwriting of any existing destination file
  -h, --help            Show this help message and exit
  -m MODE, --mode MODE  File mode for newly created files
  -t FILE_TYPE, --type FILE_TYPE
                        Type of file can be one of 'ini', 'json' or 'yaml'. If
                        not specified the type will be guessed from the file
                        extension
  --debug               Print debug trace on error
  --version             Print the program version and exit

Examples

Merge multiple INI files and write result into res.ini

confmerge -f 1.ini 2.ini 3.ini res.ini

Merge different types of configuration files:

confmerge -f 1.yml 2.json 3.ini res.yml

Perform a dry run (don't write output file but print result on stdout):

confmerge --dry-run 1.yml 2.yml not-touched.yml
