Yeoman Generator user-interactions Use-case.

Adding gitInfo to Yeoman Generator user-interactions example.

const Generator = require('yeoman-generator');
const github_user = require('shelljs-github-user');

module.exports = class extends Generator {
    constructor(args, opts) {
        super(args, opts);
    }

    prompting() {
        let self = this;
        var done = this.async();

        github_user().then((github_obj) => {
            self.gitInfo = github_obj;
            _prompt_project_info();
        }).catch((reason) => {
            self.log(reason);
            _prompt_project_info(); // skip gitInfo
        });

        function _prompt_project_info() {
            self.prompt([{
                type: 'input',
                name: 'name',
                message: 'Your project name',
                default: this.appname // Default to current folder name
            }, {
                type: 'confirm',
                name: 'cool',
                message: 'Would you like to enable the Cool feature?'
            }]).then((answers) => {
                self.log('app name', answers.name);
                self.log('cool feature', answers.cool);
                done();
            });
        }
    }
}

Background

@robwierzbowski offers the following approach in issues/190:

this.gitInfo = {
   name: shelljs.exec('git config user.name', {silent: true}).output.replace(/\n/g, ''),
   email: shelljs.exec('git config user.email', {silent: true}).output.replace(/\n/g, ''),
   github: shelljs.exec('git config github.user', {silent: true}).output.replace(/\n/g, ''),
};

This approach works for shelljs prior to version "shelljs": "^0.6". shelljs-github-user intends to provide a solution for "shelljs": "^0.7.6".
