Column is a Yeoman generator built for hackathons

In plain words

Column is a Yeoman generator designed for hackathon projects. Built in 2013, it provides a scaffolding tool to help developers quickly set up project structures during hackathons. The generator automates initial setup tasks, allowing hackathon participants to spend more time on development rather than configuration.
