yo

CLI tool for running Yeoman generators. v7.0.1 (2025) is the latest stable, requiring Node.js ^20.17.0 || >=22.9.0. Yo provides a unified interface to scaffold projects using Yeoman generator ecosystem. Key differentiators: tight integration with yeoman-environment and yeoman-generator, supports local and global generators, and offers a doctor command for troubleshooting. Alternatives like create-* packages are project-specific; yo is framework-agnostic. Release cadence is irregular but major versions (v5, v6, v7) updated dependencies (got, inquirer, meow) and dropped Node.js versions.
