+# Compare Batches Script
+
+This directory contains the `compare_batches.sh` script for comparing batch data between two domains.
+
+## Usage
+
+To use the `compare_batches.sh` script:
+
+1. Make the script executable:
+   ```bash
+   chmod +x compare_batches.sh
+   ```
+
+2. Run it with two domain names:
+   ```bash
+   ./compare_batches.sh localhost:1633 other_domain
+   ```
+
+## What the script does
+
+The `compare_batches.sh` script:
+
+- Checks for correct number of arguments (requires exactly 2 domain names)
+- Uses `curl -s` for silent mode to fetch `/batches` endpoint from both domains
+- Pipes output through `jq` to format JSON
+- Saves results to `1.txt` and `2.txt`
+- Uses `diff --side-by-side --suppress-common-lines` to show only differing lines in a side-by-side format
+  - `--side-by-side` displays the differing lines from both files next to each other
+  - `--suppress-common-lines` ensures only differing lines are shown
+- Reports if differences were found or not
+
+## Output
+
+The script will display differences between the two batch endpoints side by side, or report "No differences found" if the responses are identical.
