## What it is
A Python-based git merge driver that understands the structure of Xcode's .pbxproj project files to resolve merge conflicts automatically. It is configured as a git merge tool or merge driver for projects tracked in version control.

## Use cases
- merge xcode project files in git without manual conflict resolution
- set up a git merge driver for pbxproj files
- reduce merge conflicts when adding files to an xcode project
- use git mergetool to resolve project.pbxproj conflicts
- collaborate on ios projects with fewer git conflicts

## When to choose
- your team uses git with Xcode and frequently hits pbxproj merge conflicts
- you want a free, scriptable merge driver for project.pbxproj files

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained tool with recent updates or guaranteed support for unusual pbxproj formats
- you use version control other than git
- you need automatic resolution of true semantic conflicts like rename vs delete

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: version-control, developer-tools, parser
- domain: developer-tools, version-control, apple-ecosystem
- platform: cli, python
- tags: xcode, git-merge-driver, pbxproj, merge-conflicts, macos
