Well that sucks. What if all I know is PHP and Javascript? To manage a pipeline I'm slowly learning out of necessity bash -- sort of a need to know basis. What do people recommend for this? I'm considering to explore Python as a third language over Ruby.
- djokkataja 11y agoYou can use whatever you want to build--the author of the post didn't offer any reasons not to use grunt/gulp/broccoli; they just said they don't recommend it. If those tools are currently doing what you want, then it's a waste of your time to switch to another system. That said, if you really want to switch and you're using npm (since you mentioned JavaScript), you can set up a dead simple build system just with bash/npm/JavaScript: http://blog.keithcirkel.co.uk/how-to-use-npm-as-a-build-tool/ http://blog.keithcirkel.co.uk/how-to-use-npm-as-a-build-tool...

- adamors 11y agoGrunt and gulp are fine as long as you don't use them for everything, ie. fine for asset management but not for copying files/folders or in cronjobs etc. Bash is much better for that.
