Debugging and running your generator is documented... by Yeoman: http://yeoman.io/authoring. @waldekmastykarz has provided the basic steps here as you need to uninstall the public one and install your local one.\r\n\r\nThe `run-yo` gulp task is designed to be used with Visual Studio Code as it can fire up a gulp task and attach the debugger.\r\n\r\nWhat do you mean about mangling files... can you be more specific? You don't have to mangle anything. The way the task is written is that it gets a reference where yeoman is running on your machine as everyone's path is different. "}}
