First steps

Install Brunch with a simple node.js package manager command: npm install -g brunch

1. Create a new Brunch project: brunch new [--skeleton url]
   • skeleton specifies a skeleton from which your application will be initialized. The default skeleton (dead-simple) doesn't have any opinions about frameworks or libraries.
   • brunch.io/skeletons contains over 50 boilerplate projects, which you can use to init your app from.
2. Develop with Brunch: brunch watch --server
   • tells Brunch to watch your project and incrementally rebuild it when source files are changed. The optional server flag launches a simple web server with push state support.
   • If you use OS X and want brunch to show system notification every time compilation error happens, you will need to install terminal notifier: brew install terminal-notifier
3. Deploy with Brunch: brunch build --production
   • builds a project for distribution. By default it enables minification.
