grablib 0.1

Utility for defining then downloading, concatenating and minifying your project's external library files

Copyright (C) 2013-2014 Samuel Colvin [e-mail]

Python tool and library for downloading, concatenating and minifying library files (eg. Javascript and CSS) so they don’t clog up your repo.

Definition files can either be JSON or Python (see examples). So the versions of libraries used in your project can be defined in version control without the need for files from external projects.

usage: grablib [-h] [-t LIBS_ROOT] [-s LIBS_ROOT_SLIM] [-w OVERWRITE]
               [-p FILE_PERMISSIONS] [-v {0,1,2,3}] [--no-colour]
               [file-path-or-json]
