Update is a new, open-source developer framework for automating updates of any kind to code projects. All actual updating is done plugins called "updaters", like this one.
Updaters can be run from the command line when Update's CLI is installed globally, or they can be used as building blocks for creating other updaters.
For more information:
Most updaters do one specific thing. This updater add a LICENSE file or replaces the LICENSE file in the current working directory using a template defined by you in ~/templates/LICENSE (user home on your system), or the generic template in this project's templates directory.
Note that currently this updater only handles MIT licenses, but we'd love a pr to add support for other licenses.
Installing the CLI
To run updater-license from the command line, you'll need to install Update globally first. You can do that now with the following command:
$ npm install --global update
This adds the update command to your system path, allowing it to be run from any directory.
Install updater-license
Install this module with the following command:
$ npm install --global updater-license
Make sure your work is committed, then run the updater's default task with the following command:
$ update license
What will happen?
Upon running $ update license command, this updater's default task will be executed, which replaces the LICENSE file in the cwd with the ~/templates/LICENSE template defined by you, or the default templates found in templates/mit.tmpl in this repository.
Visit the documentation for tasks.
