Scaffold out a Standard Readme

This generator conforms to the [standard-readme](https://github.com/RichardLitt/standard-readme) specification. It creates a minimally compliant standard readme for your cross-language project, with some options.

Tip: Use [chalk](https://github.com/sindresorhus/chalk) if you want colors in your CLI.

## Table of Contents

- [Install](#install)
- [Usage](#usage)
  - [Fields to fill out](#fields-to-fill-out)

## Install

This generator requires [node](https://nodejs.org), [npm](https://npmjs.com), and [yeoman](http://yeoman.io/).

You can install it by running:

```sh
npm install --global yo generator-standard-readme
```

## Usage

With [yo](https://github.com/yeoman/yo):

```
$ yo standard-readme
```

This will write a file, `readme.md`, to the local directory.
