subtractLists

A script to take a base file and subtract all lines in a second file from the base.

Installation

Pipx (Easiest)

If pipx is installed this is the easiest method to use as it should install the package in an automated virtualenv and add the binary to your path.

pipx install .

subtractLists -h

Python virtualenv

If manual python virtual environment management is your thing, here you go.

python -m venv env

source ./env/bin/activate

pip install .

python main -h

System wide

Not recommended unless you want dependency hell

pip install .

python main -h
