Scaffold out a Standard Readme
This generator conforms to the [standard-readme](https://github.com/RichardLitt/standard-readme) specification. It creates a minimally compliant standard readme for your cross-language project, with some options.
Tip: Use [chalk](https://github.com/sindresorhus/chalk) if you want colors in your CLI.

You can install it by running:
