license

Adds or replaces a LICENSE file across repositories.

Usage

git-wrangler license --name <copyright_holder> [--overwrite] [--repo <repository_name>]

What it does

Iterates through Git repositories found in the current directory and creates or overwrites a license file with a given copyright holder’s name. Uses the MIT license by default. Existing LICENSE files are skipped unless --overwrite is provided.

Options

Flag	Required	Description
`--name <name>`	Required	The copyright holder’s name to embed in the license.
`--overwrite`	Optional	Replace existing LICENSE files instead of skipping them.
`--repo <name>`	Optional	Target a single repository instead of all in the current directory.

Examples

# Add a LICENSE to all repos that don't have one
git-wrangler license --name "Jane Doe"

# Replace all existing LICENSE files
git-wrangler license --name "Jane Doe" --overwrite

# Target a single repo
git-wrangler license --name "Jane Doe" --repo my-project

Notes

The generated license is always MIT format
The current year is embedded automatically
