Yeoman with git

Question

I am a complete new user of Yeoman. I am trying to learn the work flow of this Yeoman. So far I understand some of it but I am stuck in a very basic process. Here is what I mean: When I push all my directory to my repository it takes necessary files and folders. I used Yeoman .gitignor so that it ignores unwanted large files like bower_component

Other them member can clone my repository and run : bower install && npm install to have all bower and npm components. and then run grunt build to make dist folder.

Upto now all works fine but my question is do they need to do same processes every time when they pull any new item ? like I made some changes and pushed to my repository so what they have to do to get my new changes ? They need to do bower install && npm install again ?

Thanks in advance and sorry for really poor English

Answer 1

You only need to run bower install and npm install again if any dependencies changed! Otherwise, it will make no difference.

The git pull command won't touch directories that are not versioned (that is, that were ignored).

Hey, perfectly understandable english. Do continue participating!
