generator-n

Node.js minimalistic package generator

This is a generator for Yeoman. Unlike many other generators this one will not include bunch of frameworks, config files and folders. Running yo n will generate really simple folder structure:

README.md
LICENSE
index.js
package.json

In fact it will delegate generation work to npm init itself, and then will do smart initializations, based on your package.json. This includes:

• Initialize GitHub project for your package
• Create proper LICENSE file based on your package.json
• Include test dependency based on your scripts/test of package.json
• Make initial commit to GitHub

Trivia

Typing yo n is two times shorter than npm init
