# generator-app-generator
> [Yeoman](http://yeoman.io) generator
## Getting Started
### What is Yeoman?
Trick question. It's not a thing. It's this guy:
Basically, he wears a top hat, lives in your computer, and waits for you to tell him what kind of application you wish to create.
Not every new computer comes with a Yeoman pre-installed. He lives in the [npm](https://npmjs.org) package repository. You only have to ask for him once, then he packs up and moves into your hard drive. *Make sure you clean up, he likes new and shiny things.*
```bash
npm install -g yo
```
### Yeoman Generators
Yeoman travels light. He didn't pack any generators when he moved in. You can think of a generator like a plug-in. You get to choose what type of application you wish to create, such as a Backbone application or even a Chrome extension.
To install generator-app-generator, download this repository and in the project directory run:
```bash
npm link
```
Finally, initiate the generator:
```bash
yo app-generator path/to/project_template.yaml
```
## Generating Projects
This generator acts on project templates.
A project template is just a `.yaml` file that define the project structure, npm and bower dependencies, and the Gruntfile config.
Sample project templates can be found [here](https://github.com/patrickhulce/app-scaffolding).
