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.
