Grunt.js

Grunt allows developers to assemble projects with quick commands from the Node.js CLI.

Grunt is like Bundler for Ruby, allowing a series of operations to put in a sequence and automatically executed.

Developers can perform complex tasks like minification, compilation, unit testing, linting, and file concatenation in a few seconds, automatically, instead of doing all these by hand and wasting countless hours of their time.
