Build script¶

Benefits

1. Creates a Splunk app file easily (without having to run a bunch of CLI tools manually). It will also populate the build file with things like the build date and perform minification.
2. Deploys your changes to a local Splunk install for testing your changes (avoids manually copying the files over). #
