Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ^1.5.0

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-commmenthash');

        // default is md5
        return require('crypto').createHash('sha1').update(source, encoding).digest('hex');
      },
