By Rey Bango The benefits of task runners in software development is obvious. They help to automate common, often tedious tasks and let you squarely focus on more important things, like writing awesome code. Seriously though, the ability to automate tasks such as image compression, minification, unit testing and much more is a huge time […]

It has a narrow focus and therefore may not have a particular feature you’ve come to depend upon. Luckily, Brackets ships with a […]
