Brass Tacks is currently undergoing a huge rewrite as part of a larger project I am working on.

More to come on that soon...

You may use the included Grunt build.

This build process requires Grunt >=0.4.0

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install dependencies with this command:

npm install

• _project
• --addons
• --starter
