Usage

List every license GitHub recognizes:

licensor list

Add a license to your project:

licensor add mit

By default this writes to ./LICENSE, using your git config user.name and the current year for any [fullname]/[year] fields the license template requires. Override either:

licensor add mit --name "Jane Doe" --year 2025
