This is a template for building ember with expressjs. This repo has most code from Ember App kit except for the server folder. The server (expressjs) logic is from Grunt-Express-Angular-Example
git clone git@github.com:vysakh0/ember-express.git
cd ember-express
bower install
npm install
grunt server
The Gruntfile is almost the same from Ember-App-kit, and this file has been organized neatly that you should take look at this blog post to understand how things are organized.
