Good-README-Generator

My Task

Your task is to create a command-line application that dynamically generates a professional README.md file from a user's input using the Inquirer package. Review the Professional README Guide as a reminder of everything that a high-quality, professional README should contain.

The application will be invoked by using the following command:

node index.js
