license-check is a npm plugin to check the presence of a specific header in all the files of a project, and give to you a log of all the files where the header is missing. Never miss again a license header in a file.
If you want to run this plugin from gulp you can use gulp-license-check.

Usage

You can use this plugin in two ways:

Run it from npm

Add the following lines to your package.json :

"scripts": {
    "licensecheck": "license-check",
},
"license-check-config": {
    "src": [
      "test/**/*",,
      "src/**/*.js",
      "/usr/lib",
      "index.js",
      "!./node_modules/**/*"
    ],
    "path": "assets/header.txt",
    "blocking": false,
