 It is strongly recommended that you use some sort of version control software to keep track of revisions while programming. This provides a valuable safety net for reverting bad changes, remembering why particular adjustments were made, etc. In the case of [[development:recommended_tools:git|Git]], the tool used by VuFind, it also offers powerful collaboration and sharing capabilities. Whether you plan to work locally or share with the local community, [[development:recommended_tools:git|Git]] is a tool worth learning more about, as is the [[http://github.com|GitHub]] platform, which enhances Git's native sharing capabilities with web-based collaboration tools.
+===== Dependency Management =====
+VuFind loads its external dependencies using [[development:recommended_tools:composer|Composer]]. An understanding of Composer is important when running VuFind from a source checkout or when adding new third-party libraries.
+===== Grunt =====
+VuFind, as of version 3.1, ships with a Gruntfile to help manage front end tasks like compiling less/scss, compressing js, and checking coding standards. [[development:grunt|See the documentation]] to get started.
