Parameterizing the github username as well
See original GitHub issueWould you be open to parameterize the github user name, and adjust all relevant paths to use that, instead of kentcdodds
? One reason I ask is because it’s not quite equivalent to generate a new project, and then make a project-wide search-and-replace kentcdodds
with my username, because there are still some places where the string kentcdodds
needs to be preserved (links to things specifically in your github, like the all-contributors
specification, for instance).
I’ve been thinking the generator could ask for it in the setup process, and even detect it from ~/.gitconfig
if the user has that set there:
// ~/.gitconfig
[github]
user = gnapse
With the above in place, then this works
$ git config --global user.gnapse
gnapse
And it could even suggest the user to save it to ~/.gitconfig
.

Thanks. So long as it’s not too complicated then I’m fine with it. Especially if it’s just a few lines of code (because it’s using an npm module for it or something).
