Bower.json install only single file

I am a bower newbie. How can I download only a single file from GitHub instead of the entire set of files? I just want the latest fuelux.min.js file from this link and I want to put it in my plugins directory.

{
  "name": "my app",
  "version": "1.0",
  "dependencies": {
    "angular-local-storage": "latest",
    "fuelux":"latest"
    },
  "install" : {
    "path" : {
      "js": "plugins"
      }
  }
}
Solution

  • The idea of bower is that you include the entire published contents of the repository/package which is then installed by a developer through bower. You use your build system (grunt, broccoli, etc) to pick any files from that which need to be included in your own distribution.

    If for some reason you really only want that single file you'll just have to include it in your application manually.
