bumerge

Merge Butane configurations

This is a simple Python script that will merge Butane configurations from multiple files into one. Makes your job easier when you manage servers.

• merges multiple .bu files into one
• inlines external files into the configs
• checks source configs for errors

bumerge currently supports Fedora CoreOS Specification v1.5.0. Support for other distributions is planned, but not prioritized.

Install

pipx install bumerge  # or pip, or conda, or pipsi, or ...

Use

Just pass the list of the files to the app

bumerge root.bu modules/time.bu modules/user.bu

Important: bumerge will perform a deep merge. If there are key conflicts, the latter file takes precedence.
