Documentation

This plugin includes a hub task and overrides the watch task.

hub task

The hub task is for running tasks on multiple projects. It would like to know which Gruntfiles to use and which tasks to run on each Grunt project. For example if I would like to lint and test on every Grunt project one folder up:

grunt.initConfig({
  hub: {
    'lint test': ['../*/grunt.js'],
  }
});

or using the more explicit syntax and only specifying certain Grunt projects:

grunt.initConfig({
  hub: {
    all: {
      files: [
      	'../grunt-jam/grunt.js',
      	'../grunt-docs/grunt.js'
      ],
      tasks: ['lint', 'test']
    }
  }
});

watch task

The watch task is for watching multiple Grunt projects and triggering tasks on the respective Grunt project as files are edited. This watch task will read each project's Gruntfile and use each watch config to determine which files to watch and which tasks to run.

To specify which Gruntfiles this watch task should read use:

grunt.initConfig({
  watch: '../*/grunt.js',
});

or if you're using the above hub config, simply:

grunt.initConfig({
  watch: '<config:hub.all.files>',
});
