'keynote-to-text' is a simple script which converts Apple Keynote files into plain-text files. It requires Erlang to be installed on your machine. Usage:
$ git clone [email protected]:robertoaloi/keynote-to-text.git
$ cd keynote-to-text
$ make
$ ./keynote-to-text /PATH/TO/SLIDESHOW.key
The output produced by the 'keynote-to-text' script currently contains two sections:
- The list of resources (e.g. images, videos) embedded in the slideshow
- A list of "strings" extracted from the slides
Ever had some Apple Keynote files under your git repository? Wouldn't it be nice if you could diff them to a certain extent? Include the following into your Git configuration file (i.e. ~/.gitconfig):
[diff "keynote"]
binary = true
textconv = /PATH/TO/KEYNOTE/keynote-to-text
Then, edit the Git attributes file as follows (e.g. /PATH/TO/PROJECT/.gitattributes):
*.key diff=keynote
Now you can get diffs from your Apple Keynote files:
git diff awesome_slideshow.key
Some sample output from git diff is shown below. You can notice how I have removed an image, edited some text and made a non-printable change on slide 82.
Clone it, try it, love it.
The script is not compatible with Apple Keynote 6 (yet). Pull requests are welcome.
