Grunt Bower Clean

Overview

Grunt Bower Clean is a powerful tool designed to help developers manage their Bower components more efficiently. It simplifies the process of cleaning unwanted files from installed components, such as documentation and test directories, ensuring that your project stays uncluttered and optimized. This plugin integrates seamlessly into your Grunt workflow, allowing you to maintain a clean environment with minimal effort.

With a few simple configurations, you can specify which files to retain and which to discard, making it easy to tailor the plugin to your project's needs. This helps streamline the development process, allowing you to focus on building your application rather than managing extraneous files.

Features

• Selective Cleanup: Remove unnecessary files from Bower components such as docs and tests while retaining essential files like core JS and .bower.json.
• Easy Configuration: Simply update your bower.json file to specify dependencies and ignore files as needed.
• Dry Run Option: Use the --dry-run feature to preview which files will be removed before executing the cleanup, ensuring you don’t inadvertently delete important files.
• Seamless Integration: Easily add the plugin to your existing Gruntfile, enabling a smooth integration into your development workflow.
• Version Control: Keeps track of changes with a clear changelog to highlight updates and fixes, such as the ability to not remove .jshintrc files.
• Custom Whitelisting: Fine-tune your setup by whitelisting specific files and directories that you want to keep, providing flexibility across multiple projects.
