Markdown Readme Generator

Description

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.

Installation

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.

Usage

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.
