uuid

A simple CLI tool that generates a v4 UUID, prints it to the console, and automatically copies it to your clipboard.


📋 Prerequisites

  • Go 1.23.4+ installed
  • A /usr/local/bin/ directory (or equivalent) in your PATH

📦 Features

  • Secure UUID Generation
    Uses github.com/google/uuid to generate a standards-compliant v4 UUID.
  • Automatic Clipboard Copy
    Instantly copies the new UUID to your clipboard via github.com/atotto/clipboard.

⚙️ Installation

  1. Clone the repo

    git clone https://github.com/Plasmatech-Studios/uuid.git
    cd uuid
  2. Build

    go build -o uuid main.go
  3. (Optional) Install globally

    sudo mv -f uuid /usr/local/bin/uuid

You can also install directly with:

go install github.com/Plasmatech-Studios/uuid@latest
