Notary

Keep your files licensed

Notary is a small gulp plugin and command line tool that prepends a license header onto files that don't already have one.

When used as a command line tool, it will process all files in your current working directory (except for files in node_modules and bower_components folders).

When used as a gulp plugin, notary will prepend the given header text to all src'd files.

The only requirement is that the header text contain a line starting with @license.

Gulp Usage

Install:

npm install notary

Usage:

var gulp = require('gulp');
var notary = require('notary');

  return gulp.src('**/*.{js,css,html}')
  .pipe(notary{
    header: '@license\nCC0 Public Domain'
  })
  .pipe(gulp.dest('dist'))
;
})

Command Line tool
