Yo – generators

What makes Yeoman amazing are the generators. There is a robust set of templates (commonly referred to as generators) for any type of project. Finding a generator to install and use is quite simple as well; just use the npm search generator-[name] command to search for a generator where the name matches.

The Yeoman workflow

The general workflow to follow when using Yo, Bower, and Grunt is as follows:

Install a generator as follows:
```
$ npm install generator-[name]
```
Scaffold a project:
```
$ yo [generator] [args] [options]
```

Install a dependency:

$ bower install [dependency#version] [options]

Test the project:
```
$ grunt test
```
Preview the project:
```
$ grunt serve
```
Build the project for deployment:
```
$ grunt
```
