Related yeoman generators

The goal of generator-aspnet is to provide an experience consistent with creating new ASP.NET 5 (DNX) projects and files in Visual Studio 2015. Below are some other related generators that you may be interested in.

generator-csharp

generator-csharp is a work in progress but is available for you to try out today. The goal of generator-csharp is to provide an experience consistent with creating C# projects (MSBuild based, not DNX) and files in Visual Studio 2015.

generator-aspnet-xtianus

generator-aspnet-xtianus is an extension of OmniSharp/generator-aspnet that comes with a special Foundation 5 SASS/SCSS framework ready out of the box with wiredep & other grunt tasks for advanced front-end development. Look for => Starter Web Application - Foundation 5. The other goal of this generator is to provide alternative templates to the traditional ASP.NET Visual Studio templates. More templates will become housed under this fork in the near future. Feel free to participate and learn more about generator-aspnet-xtianus.
