Chipshot

Set up game-winning headers!

---

Chipshot helps standardize header information in software development files.

Its target goal is to ensure that copyright dates are standardized and that licensing information is present.

It supports a wide range of file formats, including source code and documentation formats. It purposely does not support configuration file formats by default (such as TOML, INI, or YAML) but can be configured to support those, too.

Sample configuration

Create a file named .chipshot.toml with the following content:

[chipshot]
template = """
Copyright 2021-{{ year }} Developer or Company
Released under the terms of the MIT license.
SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
"""

You can then run chipshot path1 path2 to see what files will be modified. If you're satisfied, run chipshot --update path1 path2 to update the files.

Pre-commit hooks

Chipshot offers two pre-commit hooks to help you manage your projects:

• check-headers
• update-headers

Here's a sample configuration for ensuring your files have correct headers:

# .pre-commit-config.yaml
repos:
  - repo: 'https://github.com/kurtmckee/chipshot'
    rev: 'v0.4.0'
    hooks:
      - id: 'update-headers'
