psychobunny

Great! Looking forward to seeing what else you come up with

For now I'm coming up with a new version of the grunt-script containing new major features:

Version 0.2

improved configuration
added build-in compilation of any .coffee-files within modules to equivalent .js-files
moved configuration to json-file

Since this seems to be a nice tool for developers you may pin it somewhere? Would be

Since I'm a german guy it would be great if you notify me about wrong english you come across within the README.md thereby it gets more readable

Thanks!

Version 0.3

added npm publish and git (add/commit/push) + any shell-command before commit as grunt publ:MODULENAME:COMMIT-MSG:PUSH (all parameters optional)
Bump

Version 0.4

added grunt init command to copy and initialize a new plugin/theme from drafts.
This works basically by copying existing files and replace occurrences like @{id} and @{name} within those and their file-names.

Btw: is anybody except me using this awesome build-tool? :wink2: It should also speed up the progress of creating plugins/themes with basic js if you're to afraid of using a comfortable language

@frissdiegurke Possibly -- for themes I use this instead: https://github.com/designcreateplay/nodebb-theme-quickstart
