To run the readme generator from the command line, you'll need to install Generate globally first. You can do that now with the following command:

Install generate-git
Install this module with the following command:
$ npm install --global generate-gitRun this generator's default task with the following command:
$ gen readmeWhat will happen?
Running $ gen git will run this generator's default task, which initializes a new git repository, git adds the files, and does a first commit with the message first commit.
When generate is installed globally, you can run this generator with the $ gen readme command, or use in your own generator as a plugin or sub-generator to make it a continuous part of the build workflow when scaffolding out a new project.
