Installation

Usage
-----

::

    $ notary
    Usage: notary [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

    Manages your project's license.

    Options:
    -h, --help  Show this message and exit.

    Commands:
    add     Adds a license, replacing any that might exist.
    remove  Removes any license present in the current folder.

::

    $ notary add --help
    Usage: notary add [OPTIONS]

    Tries to find a license that matches the given LICENSE argument. If one
    exists and takes a author and year, it adds them to the license. Otherwise
    it writes the license without an author and year and informs the user.

    :param license_name: the 'human' name of the license that should be added.
    Notary will try to guess the actual name from this. :param author: Tuple
    representing the name of the author. :param year: Integer representing the
    year that will be written to the license.

    Options:
    -l, --license TEXT  The name of the license you want to add. Doesn't have to
                        be exact.
    -a, --author TEXT   The name that will be on the license. Is ignored if not
                        required.
    -y, --year INTEGER  The year that will be on the license. Is ignored if not
                        required.  [default: 2017]
    -h, --help          Show this message and exit.
