How do I name the .bowerrc file?
bower, mean-stack
Solution
on the command line (make sure to cd into your working directory), issue this command:
touch .bowerrc
This will also work for other files common to webdev like `.htaccess` and `.gitignore`
Note: If you haven't installed git bash for windows, you may not have support for the `touch` command. In that case (as mentioned in one of the comments here), the easiest way to accomplish this is via the cli with:
echo "" > .bowerrc
Problem
This MEAN-stack tutorial describes using Bower to install AngularJS in your public folder. One of the steps describes creating a file called ".bowerrc" in your test-app folder. However, Windows won't let you create a file without a name. How do I accomplish this on a Windows system?
