Local changes to Yeoman Generator

[cah-parita-desai]

I have used your generator as a base and have made some customization to address to organizational needs. I tested it locally using npm link and it worked as expected.
Committed the changes in my github repo. Now post taking the pull from git and running it i don't see my changes reflecting.
Please help!!

Yeah...You will not be able to view the changes.
When i see the logs it prints
7926 verbose stack Error: EEXIST: file already exists, cmd shim 'D:\Users\parita.desai\Documents\GitHub\generator\node_modules\atob\bin\atob.js' -> 'D:\Users\parita.desai\Documents\GitHub\generator\atob'

This i get when i do npm link

Hi Siva, Might be a silly question. But as i have not published my changes to global npm module ie generator-springboot, i have to do npm link again to view my changes, right? Note:- I can see all the code changes i have made and had tested it before commiting. Any pointers would be of great help. Thanks!!

Hi,
You can use "npm link" to use your changes done locally, but to publish to npm registry you will need to publish with different name.
