`obasync` - Office Basic Macro Source Synchronizer

DESCRIPTION

obasync is an OpenOffice/LibreOffice Basic macro source synchronizer. It synchronizes your Basic macros with your local project files.

Given the following source files:

Directory: MyApp
Files: MyMacros.vb Utils.vb Registry.vb Data.vb

Running obasync will synchronze them with the followin macros:

Library: MyApp
Modules: MyMacros Utils Registry Data

If the Basic library MyApp does not exist, it will be created. Missing modules will be added, and excess modules will be removed.

And vice versa. Given the following macros:

Library: MyApp
Modules: MyMacros Utils Registry Data

Running obasync --get will synchronze them with the following source files:

Directory: MyApp
Files: MyMacros.vb Utils.vb Registry.vb Data.vb

Missing source files will be added, and excess source files will be deleted.
