SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

After a GSD update wipes and reinstalls files, this process merges the user's previously saved local modifications back into the new version, using a three-way comparison to distinguish user changes from version drift.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Detect backed-up patches in gsd-local-patches and locate their directory.
  • Determine a pristine baseline from git history or a gsd-pristine snapshot to guide reliable merges.
  • Merge user changes with the updated version, report per-file outcomes, and prompt for review of conflicts.

Quick Start

Run the gsd-update workflow to reapply patches after a GSD update.

How does three-way merge work for resolving local patches against a new GSD baseline?▼

Three-way merge works by comparing your local patches and the updated version against a pristine baseline from git history or a gsd-pristine snapshot, flagging conflicts for manual review.

Do I need a pristine baseline from git history to guide reliable merges of local patches?▼
