If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins.

Install

Download and add to your project. Open Gruntfile.js, edit the config, npm install, and away you go!

{
  "scss_folder" : "scss",
  "css_folder" : "css",

Usage

Simply type grunt watch during production, however there a few tasks you may run directly on adhoc basis for example:

• grunt grunticon: Creates PNG version of SVG images
• grunt cssmetrics: See how big your compiled CSS files are
• grunt cssmin: Minify compiled CSS files (files are named to *.min.css)

Current tasks

• load-grunt-tasks

• grunt-contrib-watch
• grunt-sync
• grunt-docco
• grunt-contrib-sass

• grunt-contrib-cssmin
