Grow Up With Grunt
summary
A command-line build tool that wires together linting, concatenation, minification, scaffolding and headless browser testing, demonstrated by scaffolding a jQuery plugin with grunt init:jQuery, installing deps via npm install, running continuous checks with watch, and executing QUnit in phantomjs. Demo runs 6,361 jQuery assertions with 6,360 passing (one failure from extensions), shows generated package metadata, a generated gruntfile.js, and a working connect server + QUnit workflow that automates local and CI-friendly testing.
