Installation
$ npm install -g licenser
Usage
In your project directory root:
# Create or overwrite LICENSE file from package.json or from `licenser config`
$ licenser set
# Create or overwrite LICENSE file and update package.json
$ licenser set apache2
$ licenser set mit
$ licenser set gpl3
# Update the year in the LICENSE file
$ licenser update
Config
If a package.json is present at the working directory, author,
project and license information is read from there.
If not, author information is read from ~/.gitconfig
Your default license and author data can be set globally:
$ licenser config --author="Mr. Fancy Pants" --email="fp@adventure.com"
$ licenser config --default-name="LICENSE.txt" --license=CC-BY-NC-4.0
# To overwrite the package.json and file with the `licenser config` values
# ATTN: Does not overwrite author(s) in package.json
$ licenser set -g
You can also edit config.json directly.
Other Commands
The command line parameters are parsed by nomnom, so you can use
licenser -h for information about the available commands and also
licenser set -h for help on a specific command.
