💖 NAME 💖

duecredit — bestie, this is the manual page for duecredit 0.11.2, and it's literally the tool that makes sure the scientists and coders behind your methods get their credit 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

duecredit [-h]

okay and then, right under that, the rest of the usage line:

[-l {critical,error,warning,info,debug,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}]
[--version] [--dbg] {summary,test} ...

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

DueCredit simplifies citation of papers describing methods, software and data used by any given analysis script/pipeline. That's the whole vibe — your pipeline did a bunch of science, and DueCredit makes sure every paper/software/data thing it leaned on gets cited. No more "oops I forgot to cite that one tool" 😭

🌈 the subcommands 🌈

  • summary — Spit out the summary of the citations which were collected. Yes, "spit out" is the actual word, iconic.
  • test — Run internal DueCredit (unit)tests to verify correct operation on the system

🦋 detailed usage info 🦋

Detailed usage information for individual commands is available via command-specific help options, i.e.:

/builddir/build/BUILD/pythonduecredit-0.11.2-build/BUILDROOT/usr/bin/duecredit <command> --help

(that's a whole literal path, copy it exactly bestie, don't be cute with it 💅)

🎀 Positional arguments 🎀

  • {summary,test} — the two commands you can pick from, periodt.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -h, --help, --help-np — show this help message and exit. And listen: --help-np forcefully disables the use of a pager for displaying the help. Forcefully. It said what it said.
  • -l, --log-level {critical,error,warning,info,debug,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9} — level of verbosity. Integers provide even more debugging information 👀 so if you're nosy, go numeric.
  • --version — show program's version and license information and exit.
  • --dbg — do not catch exceptions and show exception traceback 🔥 maximum chaos mode, the stack trace is coming for you fr fr.
and then the page just says: "Your Credit is Due" — which, honestly? ate. 👑
