Best practice to extend a generator

[gpietro]

Hi,
I would like to extend the service generator by adding custom content to the file and use the feathers-cli package to run the command.
There is a best way to do this than forking both projects (generator-feathers and feathers-cli)?
Thanks.

There is currently no way to run the feathersjs/cli with a different generator but it is really just a very small wrapper around Yeoman. So the steps for a custom generator would be

• Fork this repository
• Make your changes
• Publish it (under your namespace) or run npm link
• npm install yo -g
• yo and this generator should show up in the list
