Licen

Generate your license. Yet another lice, but implemented with Jinja2 and docopt, should be much more elegant and cleaner. I also get many inspirations from joe(help you generate gitignore).

Why and what's the difference

seems better than lice:

• Licen use Jinja2 as its template engine, sweet and easy. Lice do it by hand.
• Licen use docopt for the command line interface. Lice use argparse.
• Licen don't render the boilerplate in the license template. Lice do. Check out the issue here.
• Licen is pep8 checked. Lice don't.

seems not good as lice:

• Licen support less licenses. Check issue#1
• Licen haven't support comment the license header yet. Check issue#2

Install

$ pip install licen

Usage

NOTE: because licen use the git configuration(user.name and user.email) as default context, please make sure that you've set up git properly. You can check this guide if you have done yet.

A gif is worth than a thousand words.

In short, generate a licnese:

$ licen mit > LICENSE

Generate a header:

$ licen header gpl-2.0-header > main.py

Or get detailed help message from the terminal.

$ licen -h
