# 🛠 Directory Comparator
|
|
|
|
A robust Bash utility for recursive file comparison between two directories. It uses DIR_A as the source of truth for file names and checks for their existence and differences in DIR_B. Perfect for auditing configuration changes or verifying backup integrity.
|

|
|
|
|
### ⚙️ Prerequisites
|
|
* **diff:** Used for generating file differences.
|
|
* **find:** Required for recursive file discovery.
|
|
* **Bash 4+:** Utilizes modern bash features like `set -euo pipefail`.
|
|
|
|
### 📊 Parameters Mapping
|
|
| Option | Description |
|
|
| :--- | :--- |
|
|
| -o <file> | Save the full report to a specific file (default: `./compare-dirs.log`). |
|
|
| -q | Quiet mode: Show only the final summary without full `diff` output. |
|
|
| -h | Show help and usage information. |
|
|
|
|
### 🏃 Quick Start
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Basic comparison (outputs diffs to terminal and compare-dirs.log)
|
|
./compare-dirs.sh /path/to/dir_a /path/to/dir_b
|
|
|
|
# Quiet mode (summary only) with custom log file
|
|
./compare-dirs.sh -q -o audit_report.log /etc/nginx /backup/nginx
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 🛡 Features
|
|
* **Safe Discovery:** Uses `-printf '%P\0'` with `find` to safely handle filenames with spaces or special characters.
|
|
* **Strict Execution:** Built-in error trapping and strict mode to prevent silent failures.
|
|
* **Colorized UI:** Visual feedback for **IDENTICAL**, **DIFFERENT**, and **MISSING** status.
|
|
* **Log Rotation Ready:** Outputs to both `STDOUT` and log files simultaneously.
