Torba

Torba directly downloads assets from sources like GitHub releases or npm, eliminating the need for Bower and simplifying the dependency chain as highlighted in its philosophy.

It seamlessly places assets under Sprockets' load path, allowing easy require or import directives in application JavaScript and CSS files without extra configuration.

Each package is stored in a namespaced directory, preventing asset name collisions in the shared Sprockets filesystem, as described in the 'Packing the torba' process.

The :import option lets you cherry-pick specific files with glob patterns, flattening structures for cleaner require directives, as shown with the lightslider example in the README.
