This script scans every repo of a user (on GitHub/Bitbucket/GitLab or other providers available) for:

* Check if include a license file
* Download a license to the project folder (automatically execute a `git commit`)
* Adds a license badge in the readme (automatically execute a `git commit`)
* Include git hooks to check if your project has one.

Remember, without a license file your project is proprietary even if it is online!

## Install

```
pip3 install gh-license
```

In case of a git clone:

```
pip3 install -e ./folder-of-the-repo
```

_**Info:** This overwrites the `init.templatedir` global git config after creating a backup of the current value in `~/.gh-license/config.ini` with the key `templatedir` in section `main`.  
The installed git template contains a hook that will be installed every time you run `git init`. The hook reminds you to install a license if you ever forget, and disables itself after adding one._

gh-license --scan Mte90

With this command you will get a report in a file called Mte90-github-license-report

gh-license --scan Mte90 --provider bitbucket
