# Sample of a diff

[diffXcodeTargets](https://github.com/staxmanade/diffXcodeTargets) is a command line utility I threw together that allows you to visualize the differences between two Xcode project targets using a diff tool.

# Install it with [npm](https://npm.org)

    npm install -g diffxcodetargets

# How to use it?

You can first call it by passing in the path to your project file and no targets and it will print out what targets are available.


    > diffXcodeTargets ./myProject.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj

    Could not find TargetA ''. Possible targets are:
      - targetA
      - targetB

Now you know your available targets and you can call it with the two targets you want to diff:

    diffXcodeTargets ./myProject.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj targetA targetB

# CLI Usage

  `diffXcodeTargets projectFilePath targetA targetB`

        **[--version]**          : Prints just the version

        **[--help]**             : Prints this help info

        **[--debug]**            : Logs extra diagnostic debug info

# Example(s)

`diffXcodeTargets ./myProject.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj targetA targetB`
