Question

Does anyone know of an Open Source three-way merge implementation in JavaScript or PHP? I want to merge plain text files without the need to rely on any server side binaries.

I found a few solutions for creating diffs, but no merge implementations.

Was it helpful?

OTHER TIPS

Not exactly three-way merge, but Google's "Diff Match and Patch libraries offer robust algorithms to perform the operations required for synchronizing plain text". And the implementation is available in Java, JavaScript, C++, C#, Lua and Python.

Just finished my work on such a js- and php-tool. Have a look and enjoy:

https://github.com/Krassmus/Textmerger

You'd just need to write

var merged = Textmerger.get().merge(original, mytext, theirtext);

or in PHP

$merged = Textmerger::get()->merge($original, $mytext, $theirtext);

and you're done.
