What is "Generate"?
Generate is a command line tool and developer framework for scaffolding out new GitHub projects using generators and tasks. Answers to prompts and the user's environment can be used to determine the templates, directories, files and contents to build. Support for gulp, base and assemble plugins, and much more.
For more information about Generate:
- Visit the generate project

- Find generators on npm (help us author generators)
Command line usage
Install
Installing the CLI
To run the verbfile
generator from the command line, you'll need to install generate globally first. You can do that now with the following command:
$ npm install --global generate
This adds the gen
command to your system path, allowing it to be run from any directory.
Install generate-verbfile
You may now install this module with the following command:
$ npm install --global generate-verbfile
Run
You should now be able to run generate-verbfile
with the following command:
$ gen verbfile
What will happen?
Running $ gen verbfile
will run the generator's default task, which will:
- prompt you for any information that's missing
- render the necessary template(s) using your answers
- write the resulting files to the current working directory
What you should see in the terminal
If completed successfully, you should see both starting
and finished
events in the terminal, like the following:
[00:44:21] starting ...
...
[00:44:22] finished ✔
If you do not see one or both of those events, please let us know about it.
