licen 0.2.2

generate the license for you

# Licen [![Latest Version][1]][2]

Generate your license. Yet another [lice][5], but implemented with Jinja2 and docopt, should be much more elegant and cleaner. I also get many inspirations from [joe][6](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.

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 licen, generates license for you via command line

Usage:

licen [header] (-l | –list) licen [-y YEAR] [-f FULLNAME] [-e EMAIL] LICENSE_NAME licen header [-y YEAR] [-f FULLNAME] [-e EMAIL] LICENSE_HEADER licen –var NAME licen (-h | –help) licen (-V | –version)

Options:

-l –list List all the support licenses or headers. -y YEAR Specify the year. -f FULLNAME Specify the owner’s fullname. -e EMAIL Specify the email. –var List all the variables in the template. -h –help Show the help message. -V –version Show the version info.
