README GENERATOR

This package is based on the oca-gen-addon-readme from the OCA/maintainer-tools.git repo wich is licensed AGPL-3

This is a small utility that generates high quality README for our odoo modules in an automated way.

The sections of the final README are organized in fragments. They must be put inside a readme folder respecting this structure.

eg. To generate the final README for each module of the repository we can say (if we are stand in the repository root)

gen-readme --repo-name=stark-enterprises --branch=16.0 --addon-dir="$PWD"

The result is a fully pypi compilant README.rst in the root of each module of the repo
