This is a readme generator that generates a Markdown file through the node.js environment and command line. The application can receive inputs for a readme containing a table of contents, description, installation, usage, contribution, tests, license and a contact section. It will also generate a badge for your license.
Have node.js installed on your system first. Then after installing node.js, either git clone
, or download this repository. Then, navigate to the folder on your local files in the command line, and run:
npm install
This will install all the dependencies needed for the app to work.
Once you've installed all dependencies, navigate to the folder in the command line, and run:
node index.js
You will be prompted for inputs to include in the readme file. Once all prompts have been answered, a new readme file containing your parameters will be generated in the root folder of the application. Please note that the file name that is generated will be ProjectName-readme.md
, so if you generate another project containing the same name, it will be overwritten.
A video demonstration for this application can be found here.
