Running tasks automatically

Now that we know how to configure and use Grunt to minify our style sheets, let us turn our attention to task automation. That is, how we can execute our Grunt minification task automatically as soon as we make changes to our source files. To this end, we will learn about a second Grunt package, called grunt-contrib-watch (https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-watch).

    { 
        "name": "MyPhoto", 
        "version": "0.1.0", 
        "devDependencies": { 
            "grunt": "^0.4.5", 
            "grunt-contrib-cssmin": "^0.14.0", 
            "grunt-contrib-watch": "^0.6.1" 
        }

Next, tell Grunt about our new package by adding grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-watch'); to Gruntfile.js. Furthermore...
