🗻 CLI tool that takes a bunch of bower packages and makes one big bower file with frozen versions.

Bower consolidator

Takes a bunch of bower packages and finds their version from bower.json or .bower.json, then makes one big bower file with frozen versions.

What is this for?

✅ older projects that need dependencies consolidated
✅ older projects that you want to freeze deps for (point this at bower_components)
✅ projects that have a bunch of bower files which you want to merge into one
✅ projects that have source and 3rd party deps in the same dir (use excludePaths, but ask yourself why did you get in this situation first)
