Reado is a compatible command-line interface (CLI) tool designed to streamline the creation of professional-grade README files. Tired of manually writing READMEs? Reado automates the process by analyzing your project's structure and content, generating a comprehensive and well-formatted README in seconds. Simply point Reado at your project, and it will handle the rest, ensuring your project is well-documented and easily understood by others. Reado leverages the power of the Google Gemini 1.5 Flash model to produce high-quality, informative README files.
Installing Reado is simple and straightforward. Ensure you have Python 3 installed on your system. Then, use pip to install the package:
sudo pip install reado
This will install Reado and its dependencies. You'll then need to set your Google Gemini API key (see Usage for details).
Reado offers a streamlined workflow to generate your README. Follow these steps:
- Set your API Key: Before using Reado, you must set your Google Gemini API key. This key grants Reado access to the Gemini 1.5 Flash model. Use the following command, replacing
<YOUR_Gemini_API>
with your actual API key:
reado set_api_key <YOUR_Gemini_API>
- Initialize the Project: After setting your API key, initialize Reado within your project's root directory:
reado init
This command creates the necessary configuration files. After running this command, a file named readme_config.json
with the following structure is generated:
"description": "<Write a brief description of your project.>",
"usage_example": "First , Second , ...",
"installation": "ex: pip install <YOUR-PrOJECT-NAME> ",
"contributing": "",
"license": ""
Completing this information is required to create a README.
- Generate the README: Finally, generate the README file:
reado generate
Reado will Extract your project's structure using Nimblex, identify key components, and generate a comprehensive README.md file in your project's root directory. Ensure that Google services are supported in your region for successful operation. Reado must be run from the root directory of your project.
