This boilerplate is the product of much research and frustration. Existing boilerplates freely modify Backbone core, lack a build process, and are very prescriptive; Backbone Boilerplate changes that.
Organize your application in a logical filesystem, develop your Models/Collections/Views/Routers inside modules, and build knowing you have efficient code that will not bottleneck your users.
First make a new directory, and cd into it:
mkdir my-new-project && cd $_
Then install generator-bbb:
npm install generator-bbb
Run yo bbb:
yo bbb:all
Finally, install npm and bower dependencies:
npm install && bower install --dev
