Updated the title of this, if anyone wants to work on this comment on this issue. Marked as "needs PR".

[jrrickard]

I have some time to work on this.

[vladikoff]

@jrrickard Awesome! Let us know if you need any details or help for the pull request :)

[jrrickard]

I think I've got it, I'll summarize and you can tell me if I am wrong :)

The officially supported init templates should all get contribution guidelines added so users end up with a contributing.md file. Looks like the jquery template has it?

https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt-init-jquery/blob/master/root/CONTRIBUTING.md

I forked all the repos and added a file to root/updated the README template for everything else (jquery already had it). I'll make a PR if that's right.

[vladikoff]

@jrrickard seems right. // @tkellen any feedback regarding this?

[shama]

Some of the guidelines would need to be a little different. Such as only grunt-init-jquery uses phantomjs. grunt-init-node and grunt-init-commonjs generate a lib/ folder (instead of a src and dist). grunt-init-gruntplugin generates a tasks/ folder.

This line:

Open test/*.html unit test file(s) in actual browser to ensure tests pass everywhere.

Would only apply to grunt-init-jquery as well.

Thanks!

[jrrickard]

@shama Yeah, I reworded them a little bit so they were slightly more generic, since they are all pretty similar (except the lib vs tasks directory generation). the run grunt-init node line is actually different for each of the templates. Let me know if this is good and I'll make the PR.

Nice Jeremy, looks good. Except I don't know if steps 2, 4 and the wording in 6 will apply to the contributing guide here. As they are intended as a starting point for new projects as opposed to contributing guidelines for the grunt-init projects.

[vladikoff]

@jrrickard could that be updated and sent as a pull request?

[jrrickard]

@vladikoff yep, sorry for the delay. I got pretty sick before Christmas. Working on the PR now.

[vladikoff]

@jrrickard ah no worries, Hope all is well now! 🎉

[auscaster]
