grunt: Specify an alternative configuration file.
$ grunt --gruntfile ${filename}
try on your machine

The command "grunt --gruntfile ${filename}" is used to run the Grunt task runner tool with a specific Gruntfile.

Here's a breakdown of the different components of this command:

  1. "grunt": Refers to the Grunt command-line interface (CLI). It is used to run various Grunt tasks defined in a Gruntfile.

  2. "--gruntfile": This option is used to specify the name of the Gruntfile to be used for the task runner. In this case, "${filename}" is a placeholder for the actual filename you want to use.

By running this command, Grunt will look for the specified Gruntfile (whose name you provide as the value for "${filename}") and execute the tasks defined in it using the grunt CLI.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
