What does Ynaxdh stand for? (Yeoman)

Question

I'm new to JavaScript automation stuff, especially yeoman (so new that I'm still delighted by the ASCII greet)

     _-----_
    |       |
    |--(o)--|   .--------------------------.
   `---------´  |    Welcome to Yeoman,    |
    ( _´U`_ )   |   ladies and gentlemen!  |
    /___A___\   '__________________________'
     |  ~  |
   __'.___.'__
 ´   `  |° ´ Y `

What does 'Ynaxdh' stand for? Yes, no, ... ?

the h is probably for help, and might give the explanation for the rest. — towr, Apr 10 '14 at 05:36

Here the complete list of answers:

Y: yes (Default)
n: no
a: yes to this question and all others (or always yes).
x: abort (exit)
d: show the differences between the old and the new file
h: help, list all options

So if you don't remember this definitions you can always enter h and see the list. Also in the new version, when you enter one of the letters you will see the definition showing behind the question.

The one in uppercase is the default one. If that is your choice, you can just hit enter.

If it helps, `a` is for "**a**lways yes" and `x` is for e**x**it. – CWSpear Nov 07 '14 at 06:34

Ynaxdh are the possible answers to the question you are being asked. For example:

[?] Overwrite Gruntfile.js? (Ynaxdh)

Y for yes

n for no

h likely stands for help, use it to find the rest of the definitions
