Running the generator locally

[newtonianb]

I also would love a new release but need this asap. What is the procedure to run this generator locally so that i can create a local release with the latest comimts?

thanks @silvenon, but I'm pulling my hair big time. I've tried several times following the instruction but the resulting files are not the latest from the repo everytime I don't understand where it's fetching these old files from!

$ mkdir -p ~/yeoman-test/ && cd ~/yeoman-test/
$ git clone git@github.com:yeoman/generator.git
$ cd generator
$ npm link

$ cd ~/yeoman-test/
$ git clone https://github.com/yeoman/generator-gulp-webapp.git
$ cd generator-gulp-webapp && npm link
$ cd ~/yeoman-test/
$ git clone git@github.com:yeoman/generator-mocha.git
$ cd generator-mocha && npm link

$ cd ~/yeoman-test/generator/
$ npm link generator-gulp-webapp
$ npm link generator-mocha

$ mkdir -p ~/yeoman-test/webapp/ && cd ~/yeoman-test/webapp/
$ yo --help

DD@ER ~/yeoman-test/webapp
$ yo --help
Usage: yo GENERATOR [args] [options]

General options:
  -h, --help     # Print generator's options and usage

Not sure what you were doing here:

$ cd ~/yeoman-test/generator/
$ npm link generator-gulp-webapp
$ npm link generator-mocha

Also, why were you cloning yeoman-generator?

This should be sufficient for any generator:

$ git clone https://github.com/yeoman/generator-gulp-webapp
$ cd generator-gulp-webapp
$ npm link

$ yo gulp-webapp
