+## diff-shades
+
+diff-shades is a tool similar to black-primer, it also runs _Black_ across a list of Git
+cloneable OSS projects recording the results. The intention is to eventually fully
+replace black-primer with diff-shades as it's much more feature complete and supports
+our needs better.
+
+The main highlight feature of diff-shades is being able to compare two revisions of
+_Black_. This is incredibly useful as it allows us to see what exact changes will occur,
+say merging a certain PR. Black-primer's results would usually be filled with changes
+caused by pre-existing code in Black drowning out the (new) changes we want to see. It
+operates similarly to black-primer but crucially it saves the results as a JSON file
+which allows for the rich comparison features alluded to above.
+
+For more information, please see the [diff-shades documentation][diff-shades].
-Options:
- -c, --config PATH JSON config file path [default: /Users/cooper/repos/
- black/src/black_primer/primer.json]
+### CI integration
- --debug Turn on debug logging [default: False]
- -k, --keep Keep workdir + repos post run [default: False]
- -L, --long-checkouts Pull big projects to test [default: False]
- -R, --rebase Rebase project if already checked out [default:
- False]
+diff-shades is also the tool behind the "diff-shades results comparing ..." /
+"diff-shades reports zero changes ..." comments on PRs. The project has a GitHub Actions
+workflow which runs diff-shades twice against two revisions of _Black_ according to
+these rules:
- -w, --workdir PATH Directory path for repo checkouts [default: /var/fol
- ders/tc/hbwxh76j1hn6gqjd2n2sjn4j9k1glp/T/primer.20200
- 517125229]
+| | Baseline revision | Target revision |
+| --------------------- | ----------------------- | ---------------------------- |
+| On PRs | latest commit on `main` | PR commit with `main` merged |
+| On pushes (main only) | latest PyPI version | the pushed commit |
- -W, --workers INTEGER Number of parallel worker coroutines [default: 2]
- -h, --help Show this message and exit.
+Once finished, a PR comment will be posted embedding a summary of the changes and links
+to further information. If there's a pre-existing diff-shades comment, it'll be updated
+instead the next time the workflow is triggered on the same PR.
+
+The workflow uploads 3-4 artifacts upon completion: the two generated analyses (they
+have the .json file extension), `diff.html`, and `.pr-comment-body.md` if triggered by a
+PR. The last one is downloaded by the `diff-shades-comment` workflow and shouldn't be
+downloaded locally. `diff.html` comes in handy for push-based or manually triggered
+runs. And the analyses exist just in case you want to do further analysis using the
+collected data locally.
+
+Note that the workflow will only fail intentionally if while analyzing a file failed to
+format. Otherwise a failure indicates a bug in the workflow.
+
+```{tip}
+Maintainers with write access or higher can trigger the workflow manually from the
+Actions tab using the `workflow_dispatch` event. Simply select "diff-shades"
+from the workflows list on the left, press "Run workflow", and fill in which revisions
+and command line arguments to use.
+
+Once finished, check the logs or download the artifacts for local use.
