contributing-generator

A smart and interactive prompt to generate documentation in CONTRIBUTING.md, LICENSE, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, package.json, SECURITY.md and README.md files for your project.

contributing-generator gathers as maximum information as possible from your git configuration, package.json and github profile to generate the files.

Get Started

We suggest you to commit your changes before running the generator, as it will overwrite some files and you might want to revert some changes.
