git_copyright

Extract added/last modified times from git history and add/update copyright notes accordingly.

Installation

The easiest way to install git_copyright is via cargo from crates.io:

bash cargo install git_copyright

If you want to build it from source, clone the repository and then run:

bash cargo build --release

Running

The only required argument is the name that your copyright should carry, e.g.:

bash git_copyright --name "MyCompany Ltd."

Additional useful arguments:

• --repo: Specify a repo-root other than ./.
• --config: Pass your own YAML config file with comment signs and glob patterns to ignore.
• --ignore-changes: Do not exit with an error even if tracked files changed.

A full command might look like this:

bash git_copyright --name "MyCompany Ltd." --repo "../../my_repo" --config "./custom_cfg.yml" --ignore-changes

Run with Docker

You can also use a pre-built image:

bash docker run --rm -u $(id -u) -v $(pwd):/mnt sgasse/git_copyright:v0.2.7 --name "MyCompany Ltd."

Development

When developing, you can set the log environment variable to see debug log output:

bash RUST_LOG=debug cargo run -- --repo "../../my_repo" --name "MyCompany Ltd."
