Hello and welcome to GenPass

This tiny project has only one purpose in its life and that is to generate a random password

It runs with nodejs, and the dependencies used are

chalk

clipboardy

To run this project on your local machine

first clone the repo by running

   git clone https://github.com/super-devmike/password-gen.git

install all the required dependencies by running

   yarn install

to see all available commands, run

   node index.js -h

to generate a random password run

   node index.js 

The above commmand will will generate a random password of 8 characters, numbers and symbols included.

If you want to customize the generated password, you should run

  node index.js --length=40 -nn -ns

add -nn and -ns if you do not want numbers and symbols in the generated password.

Finally, if you want to save the generated password to a file, named password.txt in the root directory, run

    node index.js --length=40 --save

This command will create the file if it does not exist
