What is the purpose of .yo-repository directory created with code generated by yeoman?

Question

I was using a code generator that uses yeoman underneath. Recently, suddenly, started generating a .yo-repository directory.

I can't find what that is by a quick Google search.

Any help?

Answer 1

it looks that they are using this folder for installing packages. Check the yeoman-environment library here:
