The guide covers all the basics you need to get started. A generator can be as complex as you want it to be. It can simply copy a bunch of boilerplate files, or it can be more advanced asking the user's preferences to scaffold a tailor made project. This decision is up to you. The fastest way to get started is to use [generator-generator](https://github.com/yeoman/generator-generator), a Yeoman generator to generate a Yeoman generator. After reading the getting started guide, you might want to read the code source or visit our [API documentation](http://yeoman.io/generator/) for a list of all methods available. [API documentation for v4.x](https://yeoman.github.io/generator/4.x). ### Debugging See the [debugging guide](http://yeoman.io/authoring/debugging.html). ## Contributing We love contributors!
