  -v, --version     Display version information                                                 [default: false]

Custom templates

Since version 1.2.0 you are able to add custom readme and license templates without sending a pull request on GitHub nor adding them in the node_modules/ folder.

Just create a directory called .initjs in your home folder and drop your template readmes into ~/.initjs/readmes/ and licenses (obviously) into ~/.initjs/licenses/.
