Rodent

A simple CLI utility that can add license headers to your files.

Motives

Attempted using the Apache RAT https://creadur.apache.org/rat/apache-rat/index.html and failed. Had to download the Java SDK, executed the thing and got a Java error.

Features

• rodent list: lists the files that are in scope (git-aware, only includes files tracked by git)
• rodent check: allows to break a build when a new file without header is introduced in the code base, logs all non-compliant files
• rodent apply: mass inserts Apache license headers throughout large code bases

All commands receive a -f --file-regex argument that allow to filter files that are affected.

Limitations

• Currently only works for py/js/jsx, can easily be extended to support more file types
