$ npm install grunt-init-assembleQuickly launch Assemble-based projects using grunt-init, including starter templates and data.
If you haven't already done so, install Grunt and grunt-init:
npm i -g grunt-cli grunt-init

git clone https://github.com/assemble/grunt-init-assemble.git ~/.grunt-init/assemble
(Windows users, see the documentation for the correct destination directory path)
To force grunt-init to use custom default values, move the defaults.json file to your ~/.grunt-init/ directory, and customize the values in that file.
Note: you can make the template available as any name you choose by simply changing the name of the folder that the template is installed into. So instead of ~/.grunt-init/assemble, you may change the name to ~/.grunt-init/foo so that the template can be used with the following command: grunt-init foo.
Now that grunt init is intalled. At the command-line, cd into an empty directory and run grunt-init assemble and follow the prompts. You might want to test that it works before you begin customizing the project:
npm install to install the project's dependencies.grunt to build the project and test that it works.Note that this template will generate files in the current directory, so be sure to change to a new directory first.
In the the test directory you will find the following files:
example.hbs: this is an example template, which contains code for both an example helper and a starting point for your new custom helper.example.json: this is the data file used by the helperhelper-example.js: umm...
