Just run the following command at the root of your project and answer questions:

npx readme-md-generator

Or use default values for all questions (-y):

npx readme-md-generator -y

Use your own ejs README template (-p):

npx readme-md-generator -p path/to/my/own/template.md

You can find ejs README template examples here.
