Turn your README.md into a stunning landing page with one command

🦚 readme-peacock

Turn your boring README.md into a stunning landing page — with a single command.

✨ Why readme-peacock?

• 🖼️ Beautiful out of the box – Glassmorphism hero, animated gradient background, dark/light mode.
• ⚡ Zero configuration – Takes your README.md and outputs a ready‑to‑deploy index.html.
• 🧠 Smart extraction – Auto‑detects project title, shields.io badges, and repository links.
• 🔗 GitHub quick links – Add buttons for Issues, Pull Requests, Releases, Wiki and Star with --repo.
• 📦 Single file – Just peacock.py, nothing more. Easy to understand, easy to contribute.

📦 Installation

Make sure you have Python 3.8 or higher. Then install from PyPI:

pip install readme-peacock

Or install directly from the repository:

pip install git+https://github.com/ZvanTors/readme-peacock.git

🚀 Usage

Basic

Run the following command in any directory containing a README.md:

peacock

This creates an index.html in the same folder. Open it with your browser — that’s your landing page.

Custom paths and GitHub buttons

peacock README.md -o landing.html --repo "ZvanTors/readme-peacock"

This will:

• Read README.md
• Save the output to landing.html
• Add quick‑link buttons to your GitHub repository (Issues, Pull Requests, Releases, Wiki, Star)
• Replace your Repo and User
