Additional generators

Create a yo-ego.js file inside your home directory and use the following skeleton:

// the keys are the display texts, which 
// are shown in the generator's menu
// at the beginning of the execution
exports.generators = {

    'My first generator': async function() {
        // 'this' contains the underlying Generator
        // instance: https://github.com/egodigital/generator-ego/blob/master/generators/app/index.js

        this.log(
            'From my 1st generator'
        );
    },

    // path to an external script file
    // 
    // the file must contain a public / exported
    // 'run()' function / method
    // 
    // relative paths will be mapped to the
    // user's home directory
    'My 2nd generator': 'my-2nd-generator.js',

};

Have a look at the external-generator.example.js file to get an idea, how to create a generator (file).
