#Packfire Torch

web assets made easy

Packfire Torch is a tiny CLI tool to help web developers manage web assets and resources. You no longer have to include those JavaScript libraries, CSS files, webfont files and images into your project version control anymore.

Project resources such as web assets may take up a lot of space in your repository. To work around this, include a torch.json file that contains the metadata of your resources for Packfire Torch to install.

A sample torch.json file looks like this:

{
	"assets":[
		{
			"file": "../assets/scripts/jquery.js",
			"source": "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js",
			"version": "1.8.3"
		},
		{
			"file": "../assets/scripts/bootstrap.js",
			"source": "http://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/twitter-bootstrap/2.2.2/js/bootstrap.min.js",
			"version": "2.2.2"
		},
		{
			"file": "../assets/styles/bootstrap.css",
			"source": "http://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/twitter-bootstrap/2.2.2/css/bootstrap-combined.min.css",
			"version": "2.2.2"
		},
		{
			"file": "../assets/scripts/jquery-ui.js",
			"source": "http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.0/jquery-ui.js",
			"version": "1.10.0"
		},
		{
			"file": "../assets/styles/jquery-ui.css",
			"source": "http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.0/themes/base/jquery-ui.css",
			"version": "1.10.0"
		}
	]
}
