• The Problem:
  
  • After creating bootstrap files and version handlers, it is hard to tell if whether they faithfully recreate the configuration tree created by hand
• The Solution:
  
  • One exports a snapshot of the configuration tree configured by hand
  • One deletes the repository and uses the bootstrap files and/or version handlers to recreate it
  • In the Compare Config App, load the snapshot of the hand-crafted tree in the left of the split view and the recreated tree on the right
  • Use the colored rows which highlight the differences to easily tell whether the configurations are the same, or whether any differences are intentional
  • If there are any mistakes, use export actions to quickly correct the bootstrap files

Analyze and merge changes from other developers

...

• The Problem:
  
  • Several developers may make changes to bootstrap files at the same time and it is not clear how to merge these changes
• The Solution:
  
  • In the Compare Config App, load one bootstrap file on the left and one on the right
  • Use the colored rows which highlight the differences to easily tell what one has that the other doesn't
  • Use actions supplied by the Compare Config App to quickly merge differences from one to the other
  • Use export actions supplied by the Compare Config App to quickly update the bootstrap files
