Modifying Yeoman Angular generator to use folder other than app

Question

I have an existing project with a directory structure like public/angular/ . But in angular generator everything goes to app . How can I modify that behaviour and customise it ? .For starters I am just trying to change app folder to public/angular/

I tried first by changing the

 this.env.options.appPath = 'public/angular';

But this caused erratic behaviour casing some file to go into public/angular and rest into app/ . Currently bower_components and views and others(404.html and favicon.ico) are stuck in app/ rest are in public/angular

For current versions of bower&yo this requires changes in following places:

• .bowerrc: "directory": "app/bower_components" → "directory": "public/angular/bower_components"
• .gitignore: app/bower_components → public/angular/bower_components
• bower.json: add property: "appPath": "public/angular" (https://github.com/yeoman/generator-angular#output)
• karma.conf.js: all app → public/angular

If you are starting from scratch, move app folder to public/angular after $ yo angular invocation.
