generator-generator

Generate a Yeoman generator

Maintainer: Pascal Hartig

Getting started

• Install: npm install -g generator-generator
• Run: yo generator

If during generation you get an error like API rate limit exceeded, you need to log in to GitHub and create a new API token, then add:

export GITHUB_TOKEN='YOUR_NEW_TOKEN'

to your .bashrc, .zshrc, .profile or another file that is run on shell initialization. In new terminal shells you shouldn't see this error anymore.

Commands

• yo generator shows a wizard for generating a new generator
• yo generator:subgenerator NAME generates a subgenerator with the name NAME
