Generate a robots.txt for a web project (uses the robots.txt from HTML5 Boilerplate). This can be run from the command line when Generate is installed globally, or used as a plugin in another generator.
Generate is a command line tool and developer framework for scaffolding out new GitHub projects using generators and tasks.
Answers to prompts and the user's environment can be used to determine the templates, directories, files and contents to build. Support for gulp, base and assemble plugins, and much more.
