Unlike with Grunt, you don’t need to specify all used files in details - brunch will auto-detect them in most cases and automatically concat in correct orderīrunch automatically generates source maps for all your files so debugging becomes very simple even when all files are concatenated and minified.īrunch is free, both as in beer and as in speech and works everywhere. All my settings from the config. Theoretically the project seems to have imported just like it would in codekit 2. No warnings, and the codekit compass dialog says compass is installed. Unlike Grunt, Brunch recompiles only changed parts of your app and extensively uses caching for others.Īll you need to do with Brunch is run one command and everything will be managed for you, without need to write sophisticated 300LOC build configs.īrunch supports headless integration with Bower package manager. So I just dragged my existing project into codekit 3 and it seems to have imported fine. Usual brunch compilation takes less time than you need to alt-tab to browser window. Sadly, Codekit 2 currently does not allow the use of autoprefixer with Compass due to technical difficulties. One awesome new feature in Codekit 2 is the built in support for autoprefixer. with Codekit I had decided to go with Sass with the SCSS syntax and to master it before jumping into Compass. It helps you to quickly compile languages like Sass without going through the command line.

Grunt task manager is in some ways more flexible than Brunch, but its flexibility and explicitness can quickly become complexity. LiveReload and CodeKit partly resemble Brunch compilation pipeline, file watching and auto reloading, but they don’t support advanced features like modules, Bower support or source maps generation Brunch is similar to Grunt, LiveReload and CodeKit.
