var options = {
    'repo':':owner/:repo',
    'save-to':'folder_location',
    'token':'xxx',
    'readme-location':'file_location',
    'style-sheet-location':'file_location',
    'from-tag-name':'x.x.x.x.x.x...',
    'last-releases': X,
    'callback': function(data) {
        console.log(data.notes) // the html string

generate.create(options);

In this case you will need the callback because of the call to github
