ModipyCop is a Python tool that allows you to track modifications made to files or directories. Ideal for projects where monitoring changes in files is crucial, ModipyCop offers a simple and efficient way to get information on when files were last modified.

You can easily install modipyCop using pip:

pip install modipyCop

or via git:

git clone https://github.com/niCodeLine/modipyCop.git

or just copy-paste it into your code.

To use ModipyCop, first import the Cop class into your Python project and then follow these steps:

from modipyCop import Cop

# Create an instance of the Cop class for a specific 
# directory or file and save the current state of files
directory = Cop("your/directory/path")
directory.prev_revision()

# Making changes in the directory files...

# Check and get a list of the modified files
directory.post_revision()

Or be used as a decorator:

from modipyCop import decoprator

@decoprator('your/directory/path')
def some_function(var,var_1):
    # some_function code...

Depending on whether a path to a folder or a specific file is given, you can get different outputs:

For a folder path:

No file was modified in your/directory/path

and

Modified files in your/directory/path:

file_1.py, 1.23 seconds ago.
text_1.txt, 4.56 seconds ago.

For an individual file path:

No modifications in file_1.py

and

file_1.py modified 7.89 seconds ago.

• Modification Tracking: Allows tracking of the latest modifications of files or directories.
• Easy to Use: A simple and straightforward interface for reviewing file changes.
• Usable as Decorator: Avoid unneceserly writing and use the decorator module.

Before using post_revision(), it's important to call prev_revision() to save the current state of the files. This ensures that post_revision() can accurately detect and report any changes made.

You can forget about this concern by just using the decoprator module as a decorator.
