Choose A License – .NET CLI Tool

Finding the right license for your project can range from being tedious to downright difficult. This .NET CLI tool brings the information found at Choose A License to your command line environment.

• View a glossary rules around permissions, limitations, and conditions
• Search for licenses based on title and identifier
• Create a new license using the id of the license
• View detailed information about a license by id

Note, these aren't ALL the licenses in the world. That list is extensive and frankly too much.

Getting Started

You can install the tool from the command line using the following command. It is recommended to install it as a global tool since it can be used in any context.

dotnet tool install -g choose-license

As an example, you can create an MIT license file using the following command.

choose-license new mit

You can also choose the output path (from the current directory) using the -o flag, but just be sure to include the file name.
