Welcome to jGrunt
Why using grunt-init with jGrunt to generate a base Joomla component?
The answer is simple - spend less time on configuration and more time on programming. jGrunt enables you to generate a base Joomla component in seconds. It create the hole structure of a Joomla component with views, controllers and models. jGrunt asks you for some parameters like component name, license, repository url and so on, the rest is just magic.
Generation
Here you can see which files are generated.
mpfister ~/Scripte/jgrunt-test $ grunt-init jGrunt
Running "init:jGrunt" (init) task
This task will create one or more files in the current directory, based on the
environment and the answers to a few questions. Note that answering "?" to any
question will show question-specific help and answering "none" to most questions
will leave its value blank.
