grunt-blink1

Configures blink(1) inside your Gruntfile.

Getting Started

If you haven't used grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide.

From the same directory as your project's Gruntfile and package.json, install this plugin with the following command:

npm install grunt-blink1 --save-dev

Once that's done, add this line to your project's Gruntfile:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-blink1');

If the plugin has been installed correctly, running grunt --help at the command line should list the newly-installed plugin's task or tasks. In addition, the plugin should be listed in package.json as a devDependency, which ensures that it will be installed whenever the npm install command is run.
