Grunt/Bower/Yeoman newbie. Really frustrated and can't figure out what's going wrong. Guessing this is a basic question.
In my HTMl, there's parts where my file has double entries for source files.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="bower_components/leaflet/dist/leaflet.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="bower_components/leaflet-dist/leaflet.css" />
I try to remove one of those, but then when I go grunt server, it changes the files to back how they were.
How can one make changes to their files and not have grunt go changing them back? Something tells me this has to do with the wiredep task. How the heck do I get that not to mess with my files? What is going on here?
Gruntfile below. Seems commenting out wiredep prevents this but this seems like a sloppy way to do this:
module.exports = function (grunt) {
// Load grunt tasks automatically
require('load-grunt-tasks')(grunt);
// Time how long tasks take. Can help when optimizing build times
require('time-grunt')(grunt);
// Configurable paths for the application
var appConfig = {
app: require('./bower.json').appPath || 'app',
dist: 'dist'
};
// Define the configuration for all the tasks
grunt.initConfig({
// Project settings
yeoman: appConfig,
// Watches files for changes and runs tasks based on the changed files

Basically, the wiredep task will find your project dependencies in your bower.json and inject the references to them inside the index.html based on the main attribute of each module you have installed and persisted inside the bower.json with --save option.
This feature of Yeoman is really usefull so you don't have to copy the scripts references each time you add or remove a component to your project.
There is actually an issue with the Leaflet library that prevent it to work with Bower. It's referenced at the bottom line of the FAQ.md. You can also follow this issue or the other related ones.
So I advice you to remove the Leaflet dependency of your project for now and add the main files manually so the wiredep task will not mess with your index.html.
