Contributing

To contribute PRs for these generators, you will need to clone the repo then inside the repo's directory, run npm link. This sets up a global link to your local package for running tests (npm test) and generating new feathers apps/services/hooks/etc.

When finished testing, optionally run npm uninstall generator-feathers to remove the link.
