grunt-sh

Grunt task for executing commands in a shell and attaching to terminal by default.

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-sh --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-sh');

The "sh" task

Overview

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

grunt.initConfig({
  sh: {
    options: {
      // Task-specific child_process.spawn() options go here.
    },
    your_target1: "echo this is target1 shell command",
    your_target2: {
      options: {
        // Target-specific child_process.spawn() options go here.
        env: {
          MY_VAR: "my_value"
        },
        cwd: "/home"
      },
      cmd: "echo $MY_VAR && pwd"
    },
    your_target3: "bash"
  },
});
