grunt-init-assemble 
Quickly launch Assemble-based projects using grunt-init, including starter templates and data.
Getting started
Installation
If you haven't already done so, install Grunt and grunt-init:
npm i -g grunt-cli grunt-init
Once grunt-init is installed, place this template in your ~/.grunt-init/ directory. It's recommended that you use git clone to install this template into that directory as follows:
git clone https://github.com/assemble/grunt-init-assemble.git ~/.grunt-init/assemble
(Windows users, see the documentation for the correct destination directory path)
To force grunt-init to use custom default values, move the defaults.json file to your ~/.grunt-init/ directory, and customize the values in that file.
Note: you can make the template available as any name you choose by simply changing the name of the folder that the template is installed into. So instead of ~/.grunt-init/assemble, you may change the name to ~/.grunt-init/foo so that the template can be used with the following command: grunt-init foo.
Usage
Now that grunt init is intalled. At the command-line, cd into an empty directory and run grunt-init assemble and follow the prompts. You might want to test that it works before you begin customizing the project:
- Next, run
npm install && bower installto install the project's dependencies. - Then, run
gruntto build the project and test that it works.
Note that this template will generate files in the current directory, so be sure to change to a new directory first.
