Compare and apply a diff / patch recursively

Read Original

This article provides a practical, if hacky, method for synchronizing configuration files when upgrading software versions. It demonstrates using the 'diff' command to create a patch file between two directory structures (e.g., confluent-4.1.0 and confluent-4.1.1) and then using the 'patch' command to recursively apply those changes, preserving local customizations.
