Is there a reason to npm install for every new grunt project?

Hi

I started using grunt by following css-tricks video, then I got the grunt template Chris has on github, did some modifications of my own and now every time I create a new website, Im going to use that.

At the start I need to run npm install, this installs all the required modules. These modules are stored in a folder named node_modules

The problem is that npm install sometimes takes too long to download the files. I was thinking that I should just keep those as part of the template so that when I start a new project, I don’t need to run npm install

What do you think? Would you recommend it or not?

Thanks

That’s a good point on versions! I’ll stick with the same files for now and then just keep an eye on what’s new and update as required

Thanks
