Create a WordPress plugin with grunt-init based on the WordPress Plugin Boilerplate

If you haven't already done so, install grunt-init:

npm install -g grunt-init

Once grunt-init is installed, place this template in your ~/.grunt-init/ directory. It's recommended that you use git to clone this template into that directory, as follows:

git clone [email protected]:fooplugins/grunt-wp-boilerplate.git ~/.grunt-init/wp-boilerplate

git clone [email protected]:fooplugins/grunt-wp-boilerplate.git %USERPROFILE%/.grunt-init/wp-boilerplate

1. At the command-line, create a new directory in wp-content/plugins
2. cd into an empty directory
3. run the following command and follow the prompts

grunt-init wp-boilerplate

Note that this template will generate files in the current directory, so be sure to change to a new directory first if you don't want to overwrite existing files.
