2. rm -rf .git and git init to nuke this repo's history
3. Update name in package.json and bower.json, and otherwise tweak as desired
4. npm install
5. bower install
6. Replace "Electron Dojo Boilerplate" in Gruntfile.js and src/browser/main.js
7. Update or replace LICENSE as desired
8. Optionally replace icon.ico and icon.icns with your own icon, or delete them and remove icon from the electron-packager task configuration in Gruntfile.js

Usage

Development

1. grunt dev
2. bin/run

Release

grunt release

This will set up releases for OS X, Linux, and Windows under the dist directory. (Target platforms can be customized via the arch and platform properties in the electron-packager task configuration.)

Note that cross-OS limitations may apply. In particular:

• Building for Windows targets with a custom icon requires wine on non-Windows OSes for rcedit
• Building for OS X is skipped on Windows due to dodgy symlink support
