git-license

DEPRECATION WARNING --- Nowadays there are better tools for this. I can't recommend using this project anymore. Instead, check out license, legit, or something else.

This is a simple shell script for adding the appropriate LICENSE to the root of your Git repository. The list of licenses is drawn from GitHub's Choose a License page.

Usage

Couldn't be much more simple. Just run the git license command and then the name of the license you wish to add, e.g.:

$ git license mit

This will add the MIT License. For a list of available licenses, simply run the git license command by itself.

Note: If there's already a LICENSE file in the current directory, then running git license will overwrite it.

Installation

As with any custom Git command, simply add the git-license file to any directory in your PATH and make it executable (e.g. via chmod +x). The following should work for you:

$ git clone https://github.com/lucperkins/git-license
$ cd git-license
$ sudo cp git-license /usr/bin/git-license # or another dir in your PATH
$ sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/git-license # or wherever you end putting it

Alternatively, you can simply run the init script that comes with the repo:

sh init.sh

That will do all of the work for you (which isn't very much!).

At that point, you should be able to use license like any other Git command.
