Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named vc_apprepo to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  apprepo: {
    options: {
        title           : 'Some page title',                                    // added page title for the landing page
        http_url        : 'http://dc.ios.localhost/',                           // URL where the file will be hosted, to be used in the template/manifest.plist file
        repo_path       : '/home/rp/repo-generator/repo-generator',             // path of the git repo
        output_path     : '/var/www/apps/',                                     // where the html files need to be generated
        branch          : 'master',                                             // which branch to look at to read the log files
        app_name        : 'Digital App',                                        // Name of the app
        bundle_id       : 'com.geo.bla',                                        // iOS bundle id
        platform        : 'ios',                                                // platform current only iOS supported
