Don't see the license you want? Open an issue and I'd be happy to add it.
To insert the full text of a license at the top of the file, enter :License('abbr'), where abbr refers to the abbreviation in the table.
Some licenses require that license stubs be inserted at the top of files.
(See the Stub column in the table.)
For applicable licenses, you can get the stub using :Stub('abbr').
Calling :Stub on licenses without an available stub causes an error.
Some licenses and stubs require a year, author, and/or email address. This plugin automatically populates those for you! The year always uses the current year, but to set your name and email address, add these lines to your .vimrc or equivalent:
let g:license_author = 'Rick Astley'
let g:license_email = '[email protected]'
Though, unless you happen to be Rick Astley, you should use your own information.
You don't need to set these values; if the variables aren't set, the plugin will use the global Git configured username and email if a git executable is found, otherwise the author and email in the inserted license text will appear as {AUTHOR} and {EMAIL}, respectively.
Installation
If you don't have a preferred installation method, I recommend installing Vim Plug. Then just add
Plug 'ararslan/license-to-vim'
to your .vimrc or equivalent and submit :source % then :PlugInstall.
