After installation, navigate to your project directory ie. the directory you want your

LICENSE

    $ licensed    # Brings prompt to enter your name
    $ licensed   [--year | -y] 
    $ licensed [--list | -l]

Options:
    --year, -y    Manually enter year the license is in effect
    --list, -l          List all available licenses
    --help              Show this screen
