Golang license and dependency checker. Prints list of all dependencies, their URL, license and saves all the license files in /licenses.
glice analyzes the go.mod file of your project and prints it in a tabular format [csv and json available as well] - name, URL, and license short-name (MIT, GPL...).
Download and install glice by executing:
go install github.com/ribice/glice/v2/cmd/gliceTo update:
go get -u github.com/ribice/glice/v2To run glice, navigate to a folder with go.mod and execute:
gliceAlternatively, you can provide path which you want to be scanned with -p flag:
glice -p "github.com/ribice/glice"By default glice:
-
Prints to stdout
-
Gets dependencies from go.mod
-
Fetches licenses for dependencies hosted on GitHub
-
Is limited to 60 API calls on GitHub (up to 60 dependencies from github.com). API key can be provided by setting
GITHUB_API_KEYenvironment variable.
All flags are optional. Glice supports the following flags:
- f [boolean, fileWrite] // Writes all licenses to /licenses dir
- i [boolean, indirect] // Parses indirect dependencies as well
- p [string - path] // Path to be scanned in form of github.com/author/repo
- t [boolean - thanks] // if GitHub API key is provided, setting this flag will star all GitHub repos from dependency. __In order to do this, API key must have access to public_repo__
- v (boolean - verbose) // If enabled, will log dependencies before fetching and printing them.
- fmt (string - format) // Format of the output. Defaults to table, other available options are `csv` and `json`.
- o (string - otuput) // Destination of the output, defaults to stdout. Other option is `file`.
Don't forget -help flag for detailed usage information.
As of v2.0.0 glice can be used as a library and provides few functions/methods that return list of dependencies in structured format and printing to io.Writer.
Executing glice -c on github.com/ribice/glice prints (with additional colors for links and licenses):
