Development Tools Up and Running with Grunt

Sharing Grunt projects between computers

Just wondering if I share a folder with another computer (for instance syncing on Dropbox), will grunt and the plugins I've installed in that folder work automatically, or do I need to reinstall everything?

Obviously NPM & Grunt CLI are installed on the second computer.

thanks

thanks Jason,

that's however a paid service,

I'm thinking there must be a solution to bringing an existing project onto another computer

If you copy all the files to a different computer, they should run fine. As all dependencies will be copied over too.
