JIT
A Just-In-Time plugin loader for Grunt that eliminates slow startup times by loading tasks only when needed.
What is JIT?
jit-grunt is a Just-In-Time plugin loader for Grunt, the JavaScript task runner. It solves the problem of slow Grunt startup times by loading tasks only when they are actually needed, rather than loading all plugins upfront. This dramatically reduces initialization overhead, especially in projects with many Grunt plugins.
JavaScript developers and build engineers who use Grunt for task automation and experience slow startup times due to numerous plugins. It's particularly useful for large projects with complex build processes.
Developers choose jit-grunt because it makes Grunt startup nearly instantaneous regardless of plugin count, requires minimal configuration (just one line of code), and maintains full compatibility with existing Grunt plugins and workflows without changing how tasks are written.
