# find_duplicate_contacts

## Requirements

See the requirements.txt file for required Python modules.
Save the contacts as individual (one contact per file) vCard files in an isolated directory.

## Installation

### Linux

  `sudo python3 setup.py install`

### Windows (from PowerShell)

  `& $(where.exe python).split()[0] setup.py install`

## Usage
- Save the contacts as individual (one contact per file) vCard files in an isolated directory, pass this directory with the *--directory* option.
- Those completely equal, except for some list of keys (see the *ignore_fileds* variable), will be directly moved to the *--duplicates-destination* folder inside the *--directory*.
- Those with equal full name, will be show and a prompt will ask you to keep one of the contact cards or just do nothing with them.
