A Backbone generator for Yeoman that provides a functional boilerplate Backbone app out of the box. You also get access to a number of sub-generators which can be used to easily create individual models, views, collections and so on.
Optional RequireJS (AMD) support has recently been added as a prompt when using the generator on new projects.
