#Grunt Boilerplate for Web Designers and Front End Developers

Read all about this boilerplate in this blog post.

##Instructions

Open the terminal in the root of the project and type npm install, this will take care of all the dependencies. Also run npm install grunt-postcss pixrem autoprefixer-core cssnano to install the postcss plugins. Once done, type grunt, a browser window will open with your website running and will watch for changes and live reload accordingly.

Warning

This is a php project so in the gruntfile.js I'm proxying my htdocs xampp folder. Be sure to edit that if your project is somewhere else

		browserSync : {
			dev : {
				bsFiles : {
					src : ['css/*.css', 'images/*.*', 'js/build/production.min.js', '*.php', 'includes/*.php']
				},
				options : {
					proxy: "localhost/grunt-boilerplate", // <-- this here					
					watchTask : true 
				}
			}
		}

Also consider changing the url line in the penthouse task

url : 'http://localhost/grunt-boilerplate',

#Gems

gem install sass

gem install compass
