TL;DR

ogrmerge.py

Merge several vector datasets into a single one. More information: https://gdal.org/programs/ogrmerge.html.

  • Create a GeoPackage with a layer for each input Shapefile:

ogrmerge.py -f GPKG -o path/to/output.gpkg path/to/input1.shp path/to/input2.shp ...

  • Create a virtual datasource (VRT) with a layer for each input GeoJSON:

ogrmerge.py -f VRT -o path/to/output.vrt path/to/input1.geojson path/to/input2.geojson ...

  • Concatenate two vector datasets and store source name of dataset in attribute ‘source_name’:

ogrmerge.py -single -f GeoJSON -o path/to/output.geojson -src_layer_field_name country source_name path/to/input1.shp path/to/input2.shp ...
