> Dependency Bundles for [NPM](https://www.npmjs.org/) and [Bower](http://bower.io/)

Freight helps you:

* Bundle all your dependencies into a compressed archive.

* Avoid committing dependencies into project source.

* Speed up project and dependency installation.

* Speed up continuous integration and deployment.

* Stop relying on NPM and Bower registries.

* Avoid dependency installation issues during deployment.

Freight consists of two components - a tiny command line tool

 and a [Freight Server](https://github.com/vladikoff/freight-server) that manages the dependencies.

__See the [Freight Documentation](docs/cli.md).__

 

__See the [Freight Server README](https://github.com/vladikoff/freight-server) to help you setup a Freight Server.__

### Try it out

Install `npm install -g freight`.

Get the sample project:

`git clone https://github.com/vladikoff/freight-sample.git && cd freight-sample`

Run `freight -u http://freight.vf.io`, you will now have the NPM and Bower modules!
