📝 Anzu

Anzu is very light CLI tool for checking whether files have license header

Anzu help output Anzu example output

Installation

  • Without explicit permissions:
    • deno install https://deno.land/anzu@1.0.0/src/cli.ts -n anzu
  • With explicit permissions:
    • deno install --allow-read --allow-write --allow-net https://deno.land/anzu@1.0.0/src/cli.ts -n anzu

📚 Why not deno_license_checker

I got discouraged from deno_license_checker because of several things, majorly:

  • Its size – 177KB
  • Performance
  • Requirement of config file
  • Doesn’t ask for permissions – they have to be specified otherwise it’ll exit

Anzu solves some of these problems:

  • It’s significantly smaller – 27KB
  • In my case its multiple times faster (benchmarks needed)
  • Every option has to be set in CLI
  • If you want to launch same command using one command – just create bash script that does that (see here)
  • If permissions aren’t specified it automatically requests you for them

Why not Anzu?

  • It’s not compatible with windows (Im 99.9% sure, but didn’t tested it)
  • If you prefer having external config file Anzu probably isn’t for you

What can Anzu also do?

  • Additionally it can load license template from given URL and Path
  • It can search for license using RegExp
  • Exclude files and directories using regexp
  • You can see full functionality using -h option.
