Some grunt commands

Main environment tasks

  • grunt - Alias for grunt serve
  • grunt build - Compiles source files, then jekyll generates static site into the build folder,
  • grunt dist - Builds, then adds in asset minification & legacy stylesheet into the dist folder
  • grunt serve - triggers a grunt build then starts a connect server in the build folder, watches for changes to rebuild
  • grunt serve:dist - targets the dist folder instead of build
  • grunt test - runs tests (currently just an alias for eslint)

Some useful subtasks

  • grunt build:prep - Cleans the .tmp and build folders, then copies the basic app into .tmp
