Review on Grunt by Roger King

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Solid alternative option when needing task runner

It's easy to use, powerful & flexible. I like that it integrates with my favorite build tool (gulp). There are some options for customizing grunt tasks which can be tricky if you're not familiar w/ them yet. In general, this seems solid but there could definitely improve documentation of advanced features. If your looking for simple file watching functionality in an open source project then grnnt might work out well for you. We were trying to have better integration between our front-end website codebase as well as back end server side assets using gulpjs + webpack. Using just regular javascript files we didn't really get very far before realizing how much simpler things would've been had we used something like Grunt instead. Now everything runs together at once so deployments feel quicker than ever! As someone who never worked directly within JavaScript development or even was comfortable writing bash scripts previously - having access to.
