These commands help you maintain your project.
Ensures all your code conforms to JSHint.
Shows a tree of your application's modules and dependencies.
These commmands help you build your application.
Lints all your JavaScript, compiles all your templates to JST (JavaScript Templates), builds your application using RequireJS build tool (figures out dependencies and concatenates all files), and then finally concatenates the templates and application together. This task also swaps out RequireJS for Almond (signficantly smaller filesize AMD manager).
Everything that debug command does, except the final tasks here are minified CSS and minified JavaScript.
Removes all files inside dist/ directory.
Compiles handlebars templates - this requires setup.
Compiles all templates as underscore template functions and outputs them to
dist/debug/templates.js.
Compiles LESS stylesheets.
Minifies your CSS into dist/release/index.css.
Builds out your application using the defaults specified into the root
grunt.js file.
Will by default run with normal files perfect for development and debugging.
This command serves the same files excepts that your application is mapped to
the dist/debug directory. This is mostly useful for detecting issues with the
build, since files are not minified.
This command will serve the same was debug except mapping to dist/release
instead. This setup is how your application should be deployed.
