SYNOPSISsymilar [ options ] [ <files> ]
DESCRIPTIONsymilar is a tool for searching blocks of identical lines in different
files. It can be used to find copy pasted blocks of code, or stuff that
could be refactored. Differences concerning only stuff behind a '#'
(Python comments) can be ignored. The size of identical blocks can be
optionally modified. symilar ´s functionality is integrated in pylint
with the refactoring message 'R0801'.
OPTIONS-h, --help
show help message and exit
-d <min_duplicated_lines>, --duplicates <min_duplicated_lines>
minimum number of identical lines that should trigger a similar‐
ity message. Default is 4. So if it finds 3 identical lines,
there will be no message, but 4 identical lines will be men‐
tionned.
-i, --ignore-comments
ignore differences concerning only stuff behind a '#' (Python
comments). This means that if just a comment was added, the mes‐
sage will still be triggered.
