# licenser: plop a license in there

Are you tired of copying and pasting licenses into your new projects?
Do you always forget what the dang github api thing is?
Or I don't know, have some other reason why doing licenses is hard?

Well now you don't have to worry!
Just run `licenser` in your new repo and BLAMMO!
Done.

## Usage

literally taken from `licenser -h`

## License source

As of v0.2, `licenser` gets its licenses from
[another repo](https://git.sr.ht/~acdw/licenser-licenses),
to streamline additions to available licenses.
If you have spotty internet connection or want to use your own license source,
you can change the environment variable `$LICENSER_SOURCE`.

For v0.3, I want to add a configuration file to take care of these kinds of
configurations.

## Contributing

Send me a request for another license or a pull-thingy
through [the mailing list](~acdw/licenser@lists.sr.ht).
