A starting framework for websites that I build. Feel free to start with this, I try to manage these things from the terminal, because it's the most direct way to interact with the tools.
So, to start off:
cd ~/path/to/project
Bower manages any components(packages) of the site or application that you're building. This allows you to uninstall and install libraries and such much more simply.
bower install
Running the install command will install requirejs and jquery. I use or am trying to use these in most of my new projects. By default, these install to a directory called 'components.' You can edit this location in the .bowerrc file. It's the only thing in there.
# Example
bower search jquery
bower install jquery-waypoints --save # Saves jquery-waypoints to bower.json
bower uninstall jquery-waypoints
I find having a tool like this extremely useful, but it especially shines when working with groups or sharing code. Bower keeps track of which version of components that you are using, and if you're using the same bower.json file, it'll make sure you're all dealing with the same code. Handy.
Note: This may be because I haven't looked around enough, but most of the things I install with Bower are javascript libraries. If you notice on the registry, there are fonts, and even Bourbon and Neat can be installed easily.
Sass is cool. The following code tells the sass program to run the --watch command on the style.scss file in the scss folder, and output to style.css in the css folder. Read that again if it didn't make sense and see how it's represented in the command below.
sass --watch scss/style.scss:css/style.css
Sass will continue to watch the file until you press [ctrl]c.
