Research direction

Start by locating the generator entry point that runs npm install and the documentation that describes installation. Trace how command-line flags are parsed, then determine the Yarn-specific behavior and update the documentation. Done means the generator accepts a --yarn flag and uses Yarn instead of NPM when requested.

Description

enhancement good first contribution

It looks like there is very little actually going on in this generator that's strictly NPM dependent - pretty much just npm install and the documentation. Thoughts about adding a flag (e.g. --yarn) to allow using Yarn instead?
