SAK (Swiss Army Knife) for Developers is a collection of tools, utilities, databases, and resources that I (and potentially other developers) need regularly.
The goal of SAK is to provide a single place containing useful developer resources that can be reused across projects.
Currently, SAK contains:
A complete license collection located in:
LICENSEs/
The license archive contains:
- A large collection of open-source licenses
- Software licenses
- Documentation licenses
- Font licenses
- Hardware licenses
- Content licenses
- Public-domain licenses
- License metadata
Structure:
LICENSES/ ├── RAW/ │ ├── SPDX/ │ ├── GNU/ │ ├── OSI/ │ ├── Apache/ │ └── ... │ ├── SORTED/ │ ├── Software/ │ ├── Content/ │ ├── Documentation/ │ ├── Fonts/ │ ├── Hardware/ │ └── ... │ └── metadata/
Each license includes:
LICENSE— the license textORIGIN— source informationmetadata.json— machine-readable metadata
Duplicate licenses are detected using SHA256 hashes.
SAK contains a reusable GitHub repository template for creating new projects with a professional structure.
Located at:
templates/github-repository
SAK follows a simple idea:
If a developer needs something repeatedly, it belongs in SAK.
The project focuses on:
- Reusability
- Automation
- Developer productivity
- Open-source workflows
- Reliable reference data
Example:
SAK/ ├── LICENSES/ │ ├── tools/ │ ├── scripts/ │ ├── databases/ │ └── README.md
SAK is currently under active development.
The project will continue to grow with more:
- Developer tools
- Automation scripts
- Reference databases
- Development utilities
- Useful resources
SAK is created and maintained by:
- SAK contributors
Individual files may contain additional creator information.
The SAK project itself is licensed separately.
The files inside LICENSES/ retain their original licenses and ownership. Always check the individual license metadata before using any archived license text.
