Licenzio

Licenzio is a very simple, time-saving CLI tool that makes it easier to add a LICENSE file to your project.

If you're like me, tired of having to search for a license online, copying it, creating the file and pasting it into your new project every time, this simplifies it by putting it just a command away.

Usage

Add a license to your project:

licenzio mit                               # Adds MIT license
licenzio apache                            # Adds Apache 2.0 license
licenzio lgpl -o ~/Desktop/my_old_project/ # Adds LGPL v3 license to the specified directory

See all available licenses and options:

licenzio -h

Installation

Note

Licenzio is available for Linux (x86_64 only) and macOS (Apple Silicon, arm64 only). When installing via brew, the formula will auto-detect the platform.

Via Homebrew

brew install khalidbelk/taps/licenzio

Pre-built binaries (Github Releases)

To install Licenzio, download the latest release binaries:

curl -L -o licenzio https://github.com/khalidbelk/licenzio/releases/latest/download/licenzio-linux

or macOS (ARM/M series)

curl -L -o licenzio https://github.com/khalidbelk/licenzio/releases/latest/download/licenzio-macos

1. Clone this repository and open it.
