## What is "Generate"?
Generate is a command line tool and developer framework for scaffolding out new GitHub projects using [generators](https://github.com/generate/generate/blob/master/docs/generators.md) and [tasks](https://github.com/generate/generate/blob/master/docs/tasks.md).
Answers to prompts and the user's environment can be used to determine the templates, directories, files and contents to build. Support for [gulp](http://gulpjs.com), [base](https://github.com/node-base/base) and [assemble](https://github.com/assemble/assemble) plugins, and much more.
**For more information**:
* Visit the [generate project](https://github.com/generate/generate/)
* Visit the [generate documentation](https://github.com/generate/generate/blob/master/docs/)
* Find [generators on npm](https://www.npmjs.com/browse/keyword/generate-generator) (help us [author generators](https://github.com/generate/generate/blob/master/docs/micro-generators.md))
## Getting started
### Install
**Installing the CLI**
To run the `editorconfig` generator from the command line, you'll need to install [Generate](https://github.com/generate/generate) globally first. You can do that now with the following command:
```sh
$ npm install --global generate
```
This adds the `gen` command to your system path, allowing it to be run from any directory.
**Install generate-editorconfig**
Install this module with the following command:
```sh
$ npm install --global generate-editorconfig
```
### Usage
Run this generator's `default` [task](https://github.com/generate/generate/blob/master/docs/tasks.md#default) with the following command:
```sh
$ gen editorconfig
```
**What you should see in the terminal**
If completed successfully, you should see both `starting` and `finished` events in the terminal, like the following:
```sh
[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](../../issues).
### Help
To see a general help menu and available commands for Generate's CLI, run:
```sh
$ gen help
```
## Tasks
All available tasks.
### [editorconfig](generator.js#L21)
Generates a `.editorconfig` file to the current working directory. You can override the default template by adding a custom template to the `templates` directory in user home, at the following path: `~/templates/_editorconfig`
**Example**
```sh
$ gen editorconfig
```
Visit Generate's [documentation for tasks](https://github.com/generate/generate/blob/master/docs/tasks.md).
