## Why should I use this?

* It writes your details (year, author, project description) into the file, which the GitHub generator does not always do.
* It is friendly for beginners and busy people: no flags to memorize, just answer a couple of prompts.
* It generates the file locally, so you never hand your `LICENSE` details to a third-party service.

## Install

```bash
npm install -g mklicense
```

## Usage

Run the command inside your project folder:

```bash
mklicense
```

The CLI walks you through a short interactive flow:

1. Select a license from the list (see below).
2. For MIT, Apache, GPL and AGPL, enter the starting year and the author name (both prefilled, the author defaults to your `git config user.name`).
3. For GPL and AGPL, enter a one-line project description.

`mklicense` then writes a `LICENSE` file in the current directory. It is fully interactive and takes no command-line flags. Requires `Node` `>=18`.

## Licenses included

* Unlicense
* MIT
* Apache 2.0
* MPL 2.0
* GNU LGPL 3.0
* GNU GPL 3.0
* GNU AGPL 3.0

## You talk about trust. So, where are all the licenses located?

`mklicense` extracts licenses from https://choosealicense.com/ (which is [curated by GitHub](https://choosealicense.com/about/)), and creates a `LICENSE` file for your desired project. I have no control over any license, which is a good thing for you and me.

## License

MIT (c) Cezar Augusto.
