Heroku buildpack: Grunt and Bower asset pipeline

Rockgolem's buildpack for running our asset pipeline.

This is a fork of Heroku's official Node.js buildpack with support for Grunt and Bower.

This buildpack assumes you are using Heroku buildpack multi.

Usage

• Add this buildpack to your current app:

heroku config:add BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/ddollar/heroku-buildpack-multi.git

• Create your Node.js app and add a Gruntfile named gruntfile.js with a heroku task:

grunt.registerTask('heroku', 'clean less mincss');

• Create a .buildpacks file and add the following (or add to it):

https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-nodejs.git
https://github.com/rockgolem/heroku-buildpack-bower-grunt.git

Don't forget to add grunt to your dependencies in package.json. If your grunt tasks depend on other pre-defined tasks make sure to add these dependencies as well:

"devDependencies": {
    "grunt": "*",
    "grunt-contrib": "*",
}

Push to heroku

$ git push heroku master
