history
Project history and usage
Invoice is a small Go command-line utility for generating PDF invoices from terminal arguments, environment variables, or imported JSON/YAML data. It belongs to the modern single-purpose CLI tradition: one binary, examples in the README, and binary distribution through GitHub releases and package managers.
Project history
The public repository describes Invoice as a command-line invoice generator and documents the core workflow with `invoice generate`. The repository release list records an initial release in June 2023, with the README directing users to either install from Go source or download release binaries.
Adoption history
Invoice gained package-manager visibility through the Homebrew formula and Nix metadata supplied in the input package facts. Its GitHub repository also shows a visible small-utility audience, with stars and forks centered around a compact CLI rather than a larger invoicing platform.
How it is used
The primary usage is generating a PDF invoice by supplying sender, recipient, line items, quantities, rates, tax, discount, notes, and output path on the command line. The README also documents environment variables for repeated values and importing JSON/YAML data for repeatable invoice generation.
Why package nerds care
Invoice is notable as a clean example of a personal-productivity CLI that does not try to become an accounting system. For package maintainers, it is a small Go binary with a direct upstream, a short release history, and behavior that is easy to smoke-test by generating a PDF.
