Supercharging your Gruntfile: How to squeeze the most out of your build configuration.

Published

Learn how to squeeze the most out of your Gruntfile, by splitting it across multiple files, autoloading, concurrent tasks and smart notifications.

I know Gulp is taking the world by storm but I’m still use Grunt every day and this is a great article with tips on speeding up your Grunt builds. One thing I haven’t done is split my file into multiple. Right now my main Gruntfile.coffee is 220 lines and it’s a little unwieldy going in and making adjustments.

From the little I’ve tried Gulp I’m still partial to Grunt. I guess it’s because I’m more comfortable and have been using it so long it all makes sense. I feel like Grunt will be making adjustments to get a lot of the same features as Gulp so I’m giving it some time before I jump ship.
