grunt-release-me

Grunt plugin for releasing a project to a seperate git repository which can be registered with bower.io.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.5

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-release-me --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-release-me');

The "release_me" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named release_me to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
