Brunch lets you focus on what matters most, solving real problems instead of messing around with the glue. By being opinionated about your build pipeline, Brunch is able to provide a smooth and fast experience, and makes your config files take a drastic cut. It doesn't take much to get around with brunch. 'brunch new' to create a new project. 'brunch build' to build. 'brunch watch' to live-compile. Installation is one-line, once you have node.js. You will find that the typical config of a Brunch application is an order of magnitude simpler, compared to Webpack, Grunt, or Gulp. Besides configs, brunch is also simpler in terms of commands. Grunt / Gulp commands replicate all plugins it loads. Brunch always has three commands: new, build and watch. Build / watch commands may receive optional production flag which will tell Brunch to optimize assets, javascripts and stylesheets.
