CLI to sync only basic properties from package.json to bower.json.

Install with npm:

$ npm install sync-pkg --save

var sync = require('sync-pkg');

// omit fields using glob patterns
sync(['!description', '!foo*']);

// extend existing bower.json
sync(null, {
  extend: true
});

// allow empty fields
sync(null, {
  empty: true
});

Run sync-pkg in the command line to create and/or update bower.json.

$ sync-pkg

• If bower.json exists, it will be updated with values in package.json.
• If bower.json does not exist, you will be asked if you want to create one.

Create a bower.json file and/or update the existing bower.json. Equivalent to running sync-pkg without the bower command, except that it will automatically create a bower.json file if one does not exist, and you will not be prompted.

$ sync-pkg bower

See a visual diff of proposed changes between package.json and bower.json. Does not modify any files.

$ sync-pkg diff
