NOTE: If you don’t have your own custom generator watch this to create one: https://asciinema.org/a/89841

Lets see an example of how we would use a custom generator to initialize a project that we already have in the organization. Lets say we have a cookbook called old_cookbook that we would like to initialize in Chef Automate.

The delivery-cli also has an option called --generator, it accepts either a local path or Git repo URL to the custom generator.

This example will use a github url: https://github.com/afiune/enterprise_generator
