Compares files from different branches and spits out deleted files

Run following command in terminal to install SNOW Comparator (snowcomp) module:

pip install snowcomp

Create a configuration file (conf.json) having information related branches to compare, Git repository etc.

{
    "username": "",
    "password": "",
    "git_repo_link": "",
    "old_branch": "master",
    "latest_branch": "develop",
    "clone_dir": "test_clone",
    "instance_of_old_app": "",
    "ignore_deletions":  ["sys_dictionary", "sys_documentation", "ua_table_licensing_config", "wf_workflow_version", 
                        "wf_activity", "wf_condition", "sys_variable_value", "wf_transition", "wf_estimated_runtime_config", 
                        "sys_scope_privilege", "sys_wizard_answer", "sys_ui_view", "sys_metadata_link", "sys_embedded_help_role"]
}

You can add more classes in ignore_deletions list. File deletions from this list will be ignored and won't be shown as deleted files (Will be considered valid deletions).

Now run following command in the directory where above conf.json is saved.

python -m snowcomp

This will create a file named Deleted Files.txt having links to deleted files.

Supports Python 3.x
