Small tool to compare the contents of two directories recursively

Requirements

• Requires Python 3.10 or later

Instructions

1. Make the script (i.e. run_main.sh) executable
   1. Open the folder where this README is located in the terminal
   2. Run chmod +x run_main.sh in the terminal
2. Execute the script
   1. Run ./run_main.sh ./a ./b in the terminal, where ./a and ./b denote your two root directories to be compared, respectively - of course, you first have to adjust them to your needs
3. Observe the terminal outputs to see files and (sub-)directories which differ between the two root directories when being compared against each other recursively

That's it!

Note

• run_main.sh is just a wrapper around main.py, which makes sure to omit printing all files and directories which do not differ between the two compared root directories.
• Ran, at the time of writing, on Ubuntu 16.04
