Getting started

1. Add OverridesTracker to your Gemfile and bundle install:

   gem 'overrides_tracker', group: [:test, :development]

2. Add overrides_tracker/* to your .gitignore file because you want to keep hold of your report file when switching branches.

3. Track your overrides by running:

   bundle exec overrides_tracker track

   This will print out all overrides on the terminal as well as generate a nice and clean HTML summary. That summary can be found under overrides_tracker/summary.html and will look somewhat like this:

4. This will create a folder called overrides_tracker and a file containing all methods you override as well as your overrides in that branch.

5. Switch branch and follow steps 1-3 again. If you want to compare multiple branches you need to redo these steps for every branch.

6. Now you have at least 2 otf-files in the overrides_tracker folder

7. It's time to compare these overrides accross branches.

   bundle exec overrides_tracker compare

8. The result will be printed on the terminal as well as written as nice and clean HTML. That comparison can be found under overrides_tracker/compare.html and will look somewhat like this:

Integrate Overrides Tracker into your CI/CD pipeline with Overrides.io

Overrides.io is a service that monitors code you override for changes. It notifies you whenever those changes occur. Additionally it gives you a beautiful overview of all the methods you have overridden as well as your overrides side by side.

Overrides Tracker can easily be integrated into your CI/CD pipeline.
Just sign up at Overrides.io and setup your project within a view seconds and you will receive an OVERRIDES_API_TOKEN.

Now just set OVERRIDES_API_TOKEN environment variable with the value of that token and call 'bundle exec overrides_tracker track'. To push the result file to overrides.io manually you could also just call 'bundle exec overrides_tracker track YOUR_OVERRIDES_API_TOKEN'.

You can find a detailed description how to integrate it with CircleCI, GitHub Action and Jenkins here:

https://www.overrides.io/continuous_integration

GEM support

Overrides Tracker can also be used on GEMs. It will autoload all classes in the lib and app folders.

Sometimes that is not enough:

If you need further requirements, you can just add a .overrides_tracker folder and add a requirements.rb file to it. In that one you can just require the classes your gem depends on.

You can also use the 'require_all' way to include complete folders, filter files etc..

Ruby version compatibility

Overrides Tracker is built in [Continuous Integration] on Ruby 2.3+.
