if ci_badges.map(&:color).detect { it != "green"} ☝️ let me know, as I may have missed the discord notification.

if ci_badges.map(&:color).all? { it == "green"} 👇️ send money so I can do more of this. FLOSS maintenance is now my full-time job.

Plain::Merge provides text-family fallback behavior for content without a richer parser. It normalizes paragraphs into blocks, compares block similarity, and reports whether two text bodies are close enough for a safe fallback decision.

• Paragraph/block normalization for plain text.
• Jaccard similarity scoring.
• Configurable text-refinement threshold and weights.
• Module-level merge_text API for fallback integrations.

Compatible with MRI Ruby 4.0.0+, and concordant releases of JRuby, and TruffleRuby. CI workflows and Appraisals are generated for MRI Ruby 4.0.0+. This test floor is configured by ruby.test_minimum in .kettle-jem.yml and may be higher than the gem's runtime compatibility floor when legacy Rubies are not practical for the current toolchain.

The amazing test matrix is powered by the kettle-dev stack.

Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:

bundle add plain-merge

If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

gem install plain-merge

The default similarity threshold is Plain::Merge::DEFAULT_TEXT_REFINEMENT_THRESHOLD. Use Plain::Merge.is_similar(left, right, threshold) when a caller needs to decide whether a text fallback is acceptable.

Plain::Merge.text_feature_profile returns the family profile used by conformance runners.

require "plain/merge"

result = Plain::Merge.merge_text(
  File.read("template.txt"),
  File.read("notes.txt"),
)

abort result.fetch(:diagnostics).inspect unless result.fetch(:ok)
File.write("notes.txt", result.fetch(:output))

See SECURITY.md.

If you need some ideas of where to help, you could work on adding more code coverage, or if it is already 💯 (see below) check issues or PRs, or use the gem and think about how it could be better.

We so if you make changes, remember to update it.

See CONTRIBUTING.md for more detailed instructions.

This library follows for its public API where practical. For most applications, prefer the Pessimistic Version Constraint with two digits of precision.

For example:

spec.add_dependency("plain-merge", "~> 7.0")
