Want to help?

Great! Here is how you can install the local generator to test changes.

  1. Git clone your fork locally.
  2. npm install inside the new directory.
  3. npm link - This makes your local system sync with the changes you make
  4. mkdir app
  5. Inside the new directory, initiate yo jekyll-starter-kit
