generate-example not working as intended

[JelaniThompson]

Hi there!

I've been recommended by my friend Jamen Marzonie to help contribute to this project. I started tinkering with it and came across an issue right off the bat.

I tried running npm install --global generate-example followed by gen example and got the following in return:

[21:27:15] starting generate
[21:27:15] ✔ running tasks: [ 'example' ]
[21:27:15] starting example
[21:27:15] starting example:default task
[21:27:15] starting example:example task
[21:27:16] finished example:example task 182ms
[21:27:16] finished example:default task 184ms
[21:27:16] finished example ✔ 195ms

Although it says the building the example was successful, when I check example.txt, the contents foo aren't added. How can I go about fixing this?

I'd also like to add that I plan on making some Pull Requests as soon as I learn how everything works. This is my first time attempting to collaborate and I'm kinda bad with Node at the moment but I'll try to contribute where I can.
