class_d

An interactive utility for creating GitHub-style licenses locally with date and name.

Requirements

• Python version 3.6 or higher
• Requests*
• python-inquirer*

* pip will install these automatically.

Installation

python -m pip install class-d-oliversandli

Note that installation with sudo will add class_d to /usr/local/bin. Without sudo, pip installs scripts to ~/.local/bin. Many Linux distros do not have ~/.local/bin already in their path, so to use class_d after a sudo-less install, add ~/.local/bin to your PATH variable.

Setup

class_d will perform all necessary setup on first run.

Usage

class_d as a Program

class_d

-f --favorite

Create a LICENSE file specified by "favorite" in ~/.config/class_d/settings.json.

class_d as a Library

#!/usr/bin/env python3
