This is a little utility that I created to learn how to parse files and text in C.

Basically, you run the program executable with a directory argument to parse a .java file and look for any lines starting with if.

The program works by recursing over the given directory and looking for files that end in .java in them. It will scan each file line-by-line by populating a dynamically sized string, using realloc only to expand the string and then scanning each line to see if it begins with if, ignoring leading spaces. If it does, it will print out the file's line number followed by the line itself into the console.

git clone https://github.com/caojohnny/branch-checklist.git
cd branch-checklist
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. && make

The executable will be in the build directory as branch-checklist.

Alternatively, you can also head over to the releases page and download the executable yourself.

$ ./branch-checklist /home/caojohnny/CLionProjects/branch-checklist/test

7         if (args.length == 6) {
