license

Luzifer / license

This small tool is mainly a helper for me not to have to look up the license text of the license I want to use every time again. With the help of this tool one command is sufficient to put a LICENSE file into the current directory filled with a chosen license.

The license template is pre-filled with the current year and the user information extracted from your ~/.gitconfig file.
