New Project Workflow

[vilav]

Hi Sebastiaan,

Is this is a good way to commence a front-end project:

• Create folder Structure (js/, img/ , css/ etc. via command line / manually)
• Add project as a new repository via GitHub Desktop
• Add project to CodeKit on Mac for SCSS, minifying scripts etc.
• Commence Code?

• Start coding first.
• Add/Create the repo with GitHub Desktop and push to GitHub.
• Add directory structures and tooling as you go along.

Tooling never ends. You will always find ways to make things more "clean." On larger projects with bigger teams I often spend significant amounts of time working on tooling. It's justifiable, IMO, because tooling can eliminate meetings and prevent miscommunication. Vorsprung durch Technik.

<opinion>Not a proponent of CodeKit. Recommend using command line tools directly with npm or task runners like Grunt and Gulp. Easier to port over to CI/production environments. Can also use it across Win/Mac/Lin.</opinion>
