## 🔥 Why This Project?

Open‑source projects and internal codebases often forget to embed proper copyright notices, leading to licensing ambiguities and legal risk.  
**auto-copyright-master** scans your assets, detects missing headers, and injects clean, standards‑compliant notices in seconds—so you can focus on building, not paperwork.

---

## ✨ Key Features

- **One‑Command Execution** – Run a single CLI call to process an entire repository.  
- **Multi‑Language Support** – Detects and updates Python, JavaScript, Java, C/C++, Go, and more.  
- **Configurable Templates** – Choose from MIT, Apache, GPL, or custom templates via `config.yaml`.  
- **Dry‑Run Mode** – Preview changes before they touch your files.  
- **Idempotent Updates** – Re‑running the tool never duplicates headers.  
- **Git‑Aware Integration** – Skips files already committed with correct notices.  
- **Extensible Plugin System** – Add new language parsers without touching core code.
