There is a lot of extraneous whitespace in this README file.

I believe this is standard. I think is designed to be seen from an end-users perspective like in the browser it looks normal.

https://github.com/cactusbranch01/AST-Merging-Ben-Analysis/blob/ben-main/src/python/README.md

If you think I should change this, though, I would be happy to.



This directory contains Python scripts designed to facilitate the analysis of merge conflicts using various merge tools. The scripts allow users to recreate merges, analyze conflicts, and compare different merge algorithms' effectiveness.




## Scripts Overview




- `diff3_analysis.py`: This script analyzes merge conflicts for two merge tools on a given conflict. The tool that failed to merge should come first as an argument.




## Prerequisites




- Python 3.x installed on your system.

Why doesn't this use the same setup as the rest of the project -- namely, the use of conda or mamba to set up an environment?

Yes, the setup is the same as the rest of the project, we still are using a conda or mamba environment. I think I will just delete this line since there is already another README that more thoroughly explains setup. Thanks!

- Necessary Python packages installed (e.g., `pandas`, `GitPython`).




## Usage




### Analyzing a Single Merge Conflict




To analyze a conflicts comparing two merge tools inside src/python run:


python3 diff3_analysis.py <merge_tool1> <merge_tool2> <results_index> <output_directory>



Ex:

python3 diff3_analysis.py "gitmerge_ort" "spork" 32 "./mixed_results_spork"

Shouldn't indexes contain a hyphen?

I think in Python, CLI arguments are usually passed in as strings and its up to the script to interpret them as numbers.

I meant that indexes are now (for example) "38-3" rather than a number.

Good point. Now my scripts also use the idx column instead of the index in the spreadsheet. I updated the README and docs as well.

For the merge recreation, why not use the existing src/python/replay_merge.py script? Then this script can be simplified to having a single purpose -- outputting the diff files. If that is not possible, please document why.

Thanks, just added a few points on this in the README:

  1. It uses diff3 to show the base, conflicting branches, and the programmer merge which is useful to see the context around the conflict.
  2. It automates everything making the workflow faster. You just give it a conflict, and it outputs the differences between a pair of merge algorithms in a .txt file.

This has not answered the question. Why can't this script either call replay_merge.py internally and then do the diff? That would make this script much shorter and simpler.

You should be able to do that, it allows you to delete all the setup code since replay_merge does everything. I would suggest maybe just remove this script and adding a flag -create_diffs to replay_merge.py that computes the diff as you do it here when this flag is used (by default set it to false though).

See src/python/README.md for details on usage.
