Question: Why is the property named "dist"?

jt000 opened this issue 9 years ago · comments

Purely out of curiosity, why is the variable named config.dist in Gruntfile.js line 28? I would've assumed it'd be named config.dest as in "destination". Typo or is there a significance to dist?

It is probably better to hold this conversation at assemble/assemble.

I'll just answer here. @jt000 dist is for distribution. Since it's just used as an arbitrary property here I can see how that might look like a typo. I've been using _gh_pages a lot in examples lately.

fwiw, we'll be releasing a new version of this soon, since assemble v0.6.0 is finally in beta
