I'm confused about the proper way to use Bower. When I install components I get a large bower_components
directory that contains much more than just the files I am interested in. For example, if you install jQuery with bower you get a ton of source files.
I only want to keep the files that are absolutely needed in my project to run. Is there a general solution for getting rid of the unneeded files copied down by bower? How do I know what to get rid of? Why are these even there?
Of course, if even if I do delete them, the next time I run bower install
they will all come back.
What the deal here? How are you supposed to manage this stuff?
