Generate Awesome

A command-line tool for generating Awesome Lists from a set of data files.

Why?

Maintaining a Markdown-based Awesome List becomes difficult quickly. Merge conflicts, typos, and duplicate entries are common. Generate Awesome uses a discrete data file for each entry in the list. Generate Awesome also checks for duplicates.

Features

• Duplicate detection.
• GitHub metadata! Star count and last commit date.
• Human readable data files using TOML.

Installation

Install Node 6 or higher. We recommend using NVM.

npm install -g generate-awesome
