[name]    := project name
[tag]     := project tag version
[site]    := project homepage
[author]  := project author

[license] := license
[time]    := unix timestamp in seconds

Examples

Basic:

# add banner to each js file
$ banner-cli 'dist/**/*.js'

# add banner to each css file
# override author, license, site
$ banner-cli 'dist/**/*.css' --author 'Mr Developer' --license MIT --site https://project.js.org

# use template 
$ banner-cli 'dist/**/*.css' --template '/*! v[tag] :: [time] */'

Advanced:

// in package.json 
// inject next tag 
{
    "scripts" : {
        "banner:patch": "NEXT_TAG=$(semver $npm_package_version -i patch) banner-cli 'dist/*.js' --template='/*! v[tag] :: [time] */' --tag=$NEXT_TAG"
    }
}

Notes

This package is highly inspired by banner-cli and is currently a superset.
