Grunt

Grunt takes care of SCCS to CSS parsing and automatic FTP-deploy of changed files. Grunt also handles automation for boring tasks.

Tasks

grunt Default task, will convert SCSS, concat JS, upload to ftp and watch.

grunt noftp Default task, will convert SCSS, concat JS, upload to ftp and watch.

grunt production SCSS-conversion without debugging. FTP upload, but no watch.

grunt ftpsync Will sync stage/images/responsive-base, stage/css & stage/scripts.

grunt package Will create a zip-package for restoring in Jetshop Admin.

grunt clean-project Will clean out unwanted OS generated files.

grunt clear-cache Will clean out folder ".grunt/ftpush/"

grunt clear-scrips Will clean out ".grunt/ftpush/scripts"

FTP Sync

FTP will upload to:

stage/images/responsive-base
stage/css
stage/scripts

ftp-push saves meta-data at .grunt/ftpush/. Use grunt clear-cache or grunt clear-scripts to clear this cache. All files have to be uploaded again.
