Contributing

To build the ES5 (and, thus, Yeoman-compatible) version of your generator, run npm run build. This is automatically run at the correct times when updating/ publishing your package.

To run tests and linting, run npm run check. You can also run tests that watch for changes by running npm run test:watch, and you can run tests that track code coverage by running npm run test:cover.
