Hi Adam, have you ever considered migration towards a yeoman generator such as https://github.com/Pent/generator-meteor or https://github.com/cmalven/generator-meteor-coffee ?

Hi @markusgattol , thanks for the interest in Meteor Generate! I considered using Yeoman for my last generator project when they just changed the Yeoman architecture and I hadn't gone back to check it out. Using just Yo may be helpful but i'm skeptical i'll have as much control as I want for the stuff below.

Soon (once everything is working) there will be a json config in your user folder or project folder that will allow you to use your own templates directory (instead of the default), your own default packages, testing framework(s) / script extension (coffee, typescript, ES6), Sass/Less/ support, and a few other things.

I'm hoping to push publications tonight and roll in the models within the week and then start on a --tests flag to include test scaffolding soon after. Once these are complete i'll integrate the json config and then it should be much more useable for people other than myself :smile:

Feel free to port/fork a version for Yo though!

closing this for now. Feel free to re-open if anyone wants to fork/port.
