Updating package.json

At the beginning of each cohort, update the versions in package.json by:

rm -r node_modules
cp package.json package.json.bak
sed -E 's/"\^.+"/"*"/' package.json.bak >package.json
npm update --save
npm update --save-dev
  # note: make sure it works
rm package.json.bak

• the above sed command replaces all of the versions with an *. Then npm updates grab the latest version and replace.

Structure

Dependencies are stored in package.json.

Do not configure grunt packages directly in the Gruntfile.js. Instead, store configurations in the grunt directory. You won't need a top-level key, since that's generated by the Gruntfile.js based on the filename of the configuration object stored in the grunt directory.
