Introduction

KGen is a fully featured project generator written in Node.js. It provides wide support for many complex use cases and provides a human-friendly CLI for quick usage.

However, KGen also provides a developer-friendly Node.js API to create a customizable template to generate from.

KGen supports downloading templates directly from the template repository and automatically caches it for future use.

So, here comes KGen - a tool for helping developers create a modern project in no time, without any complexity.
