Hello,

I am managing several internal ember projects, all of them using a shared set of devDependencies (e.g. ember-cli-sass, ember-truth-helpers, ember-i18n …). Is there a way I can configure ember-cli to automatically add these packages to any future new application created using `ember new myapp` ?

I could not find the answer on ember-cli page nor stackoverflow. Thanks for your help.

Perhaps if you publish your devDependencies in a package.json to github and NPM and add it to [greenkeeper](https://greenkeeper.io/) as `ember-cli-myset` you can run `ember install ember-cli-myset` to always get your approved versions in your projects. Old projects will alert you there are new versions added to the shared set if you also add these projects to greenkeeper. You could also run your own `ember-cli` fork but I think it is more work.
