About The Project

The program ensures source code files have copyright license headers by scanning directory patterns recursively.

It modifies all source files in place and avoids adding a license header to any file that already has one.

This project is an fork from 'addlicense' by Google Inc with GNU support.

Install

go get -u github.com/ichigoproject/addlicense

Usage

addlicense [flags] pattern [pattern ...]

-c copyright holder (defaults to "Ichigo Project")
-f custom license file (no default)
-l license type: apache, bsd, mit, mpl, gnu (defaults to "gnu")
-y year (defaults to current year)
-check check only mode: verify presence of license headers and exit with non-zero code if missing

The pattern argument can be provided multiple times, and may also refer to single files.

Example

Add "apache" license header on all files.

addlicense -l apache -c "My company" apache path/to/your/code/

Check if headers is present or not (in current directory):

addlicense -check .
