How do you uninstall all your bower packages?

Question

Sometimes it\'s useful to rebuild an entire site and force bower to reinstall new versions of all the packages in bower.json.

However, there doesn\'t seem to be any way

Answer 1

I don't know what build tools you use, but if it includes Grunt with grunt-bowercopy, you could use the clean option. It removes the bower_components folder (or whatever you've configured it to use) after copying out the required files.

Ideally, I'd prefer something that didn't require me to re-download all the dependencies with each build, but just the ones where doing a fresh install would find a newer version.

I'm looking for a better solution to this as well, so I'll update if I find one.
