Project to start using Grunt, Jekyll, Sass, BrowserSync, Uglify and Bootstrap 4 Source - Help required with Grunt setup

Hi all,

I am moving into Jekyll build more and more, I have used bootstrap for a long time and am itching to get going with the beta release of version 4, however before I do I would like to make a starter template that I can clone at the beginning of a project to kick-start things quickly.

I use grunt as my build tool so I would like to set up my grunt file to do the following.

Compile Sass (both mine and bootstrap source code) Minify JS Build the Jekyll _site directory Update the browser using BrowserSync

I have been trying to set this up for days but I seem to always be missing something.

I am working on Windows 10 machine but have Jekyll running fine on its own so really I just need help figuring out the right Gruntfile.js and plugins to make this workflow run.

All help is appreciated :)
