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. ### Timeline - 2023-06: Public attention and initial GitHub release for the Invoice CLI. - 2023: README documents Go installation, release binaries, CLI flags, environment variables, and JSON/YAML import. - Package-manager era: Homebrew and Nix package the `invoice` executable. ### Related projects - Go's module installer is an official installation route via `go install github.com/maaslalani/invoice@main`. - Homebrew and Nix provide package-manager routes for users who prefer managed binaries. ### Sources - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** invoice - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - invoice: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/in/invoice/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [Language runtime packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/language-runtime-packages/) - Matched language runtime, compiler, or interpreter metadata. - [go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [bagels](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/bagels/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, finance, productivity. - [fava](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/fava/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, finance, productivity. - [hledger](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/hledger/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, finance, productivity. - [libofx](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/libofx/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, finance, productivity. - [pytr](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/pytr/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, finance, productivity. - [rustledger](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/rustledger/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, finance, productivity. - [homebank](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/homebank/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, finance, productivity. - [beancount](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/beancount/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, finance, productivity. - [cloudpan189-go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cloudpan189-go/) - Both packages touch the same language runtime or ecosystem.
