Usage

grunt build Builds all content of app/ directory into dist/. Compiles coffee and sass files, concatenates all scripts and stylesheets including third-party dependencies that are managed via bower. This will create single application.js and application.css files with all scripts and styles defined in head section of index.html file:

<!-- build:css stylesheets/application.css -->
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="stylesheets/application.css">
<!-- endbuild -->

<!-- build:js javascripts/application.js -->
  <script type="text/javascript" src="bower_components/jquery/jquery.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="javascripts/application.js"></script>
<!-- endbuild -->

grunt serve Runs local web-server on 9000 port, compiles all changes in coffee and sass files on the fly and makes development process easy by running livereload automatically in the browser on file save. Also includes css autoprefixer which automatically handles vendor prefixes.

grunt deploy Runs build task and pushes built files into gh-pages branch on GitHub.

By default, if you're just calling grunt grunt runs serve task.
