🦋 ripper(1) — scrape licenses out of file

okay bestie, gather round, because this little cutie does exactly one job and it does it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

ripper — scrape licenses out of file. yes that's the whole name, it's giving minimalist icon behavior 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ripper

that's it. no flags, no drama, just vibes ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea: ripper goes and inspects your source files and, if it finds a license, it shows it to you. main character detective energy fr fr 🔍

it's cool with either directories or files as arguments — it'll handle both, no problem 🫶

but bestie, listen: it does NOT search in subdirectories. no recursive digging, no going deeper, it stays on the surface level only. periodt 💀

the command was developed in Go language. and then it literally says PP. right there, which is highkey unprocessed troff macro energy and honestly? iconic of it 😭

currently, it supports ripping out head paths of the Apache License formatted with "// Copyright..." — that's the specific flavor it knows how to snack on 🍓

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

🎀 Files

$ripper foo.go bar.c

just hand it the files directly, she'll take it from there ✨

🦋 Directories

$ripper foo_directory bar_directory

directories work too, as long as you remember the no-subdirectories rule from up above 👑

yes bestie, it's referencing itself. self-love, we stan 🫶
