Whenever you start a project, you have to repeat certain tasks and set up certain structures: Create new folders, choose a framework, set up your development tasks. But configuring settings once and reusing them would be simpler. An easy way to achieve this is by using some kind of generator — for example, Yeoman Generator — or tools such as INIT, which can perfectly coexist with and even be used through a generator. You might already have used Yeoman Generator’s Web app . It kickstarts a project, hooking into HTML5 Boilerplate and adding things like Compass, Sass Bootstrap, a preview server with LiveReload, CoffeeScript, JSLint, Bower and more. While it’s a good starting point to automate your initial configuration of a project, you will likely need to adapt it extensively to your needs. Keep in mind that it is intended for Web apps, so the lack of a build workflow might trouble you if you try to build a whole Web page architecture with it
