ngmin is slowing down my development workflow

[aaronksaunders]

for me to test my application, I need to run it in the emulator... unless I am doing something wrong, that means i have to run grunt build:dist that task runs ngmin which takes 10 seconds to run for each cycle.

Any suggestions on how to structure a task that just copies over the files?

I introduced a copy:all task when I added support for grunt ripple, but you bring up a very good point so I've added a grunt cordova task in version 0.2.3 that copies over your app/ assets into www/ and then runs grunt cordova:build. Updated the documentation to reflect this.

So now your workflow to test on a device can be:
grunt cordova
grunt emulate:ios

Cheers
