DESCRIPTION
Pint is a small, asynchronous, dependency aware wrapper around Grunt attempting to solve some of the problems that accompany a build process at scale. A typical Gruntfile starts with, at a minimum, some variation of: jsHint, jasmine, LESS, handlebars, uglify, copy, and clean stack. Just these half dozen or so plugins can balloon your Gruntfile upwards of 300 lines and when you add complex concatenation, cache busting, and versioning can cause it to grow well in to the 1000+ lines. Pint allows you to break up and organize your build into small testable pieces.

Concurrency by default
Transparent dependency management
Encourages good organization
Separates independent build tasks
What does Pint do differently?

Automate All The Things!
History Repeats
Organize Your Build
Concurrency
Lifecycle Phases
It’s Gruntfiles all the way down
