Angular UI Publisher

Overview

The Angular UI Publisher is an essential tool for developers working with Angular modules, allowing for seamless building and publishing as Bower components. With its primary goal of automating the repository structure, this component ensures that your main branches remain clean, while only the necessary files are present in Bower branches. This organization is particularly beneficial for projects that produce multiple components, enabling efficient version control and management of dependencies.

Designed with integration in mind, the Angular UI Publisher harnesses the power of Gulp and can be adapted for Grunt, providing flexibility depending on your build system preferences. The user-friendly command-line interface (CLI) allows developers to specify configurations effortlessly, streamlining the overall development workflow.

Features
