grunt build

Update our dependencies

We can either update all dependencies

bower update

or update a specific dependency

bower update PackageName

Run unit tests

Run a single unit test

grunt test

or run continous tests whenever a file is changed

grunt autotest

or to debug a test

grunt debugtest

Code Style

John Papa's Angular JS Guide guide should be referenced for all style and structure guidance.

Working Offline

All cached XML requests should be stored in "app/dev/", named to match the list. So as an example offline data for a list named Projects would be "app/dev/Projects.xml".
