Inspired by the SHOULDERS.md several projects have started to create their own implementations. This tool will create a custom SHOULDERS.md file for any given Go project allowing OSS maintainers to recognize those who's OSS contributions helped them.
$ go install github.com/gobuffalo/shoulders@latestWhen run without any flags the shoulders command will print the SHOULDERS.md to the STDOUT.
$ shoulders
# github.com/gobuffalo/shoulders Stands on the Shoulders of Giants
github.com/gobuffalo/shoulders does not try to reinvent the wheel! Instead, it uses the already great wheels developed by the Go community and puts them all together in the best way possible. Without these giants, this project would not be possible. Please make sure to check them out and thank them for all of their hard work.
Thank you to the following **GIANTS**:

$ shoulders -wBy default the "name" of the project is the current package name. To change that use the -n flag.
$ shoulders -n shoulders
