Hello, how can I configure my broccoli or ember-cli to not concatenate and minify everything? I’d like to send the same js/css files to the client in order to debug, live modify on chrome, etc… I’m on 0.40.

Thanks!

MarcelloMira,

To answer your question:

```
var app = new EmberApp({
  wrapInEval: false,
});

```

But you don’t really need to do this 😄

The stack overflow question has been updated to show you that you can find this source in the chrome tools.

Let me know if this helps.

Ben

Thanks nerdy. Now, how am I suppose to mod ember-cli to my needs without loosing updates? Can I somehow change the repository to a fork? Thinking i’ll merge them when an update is available…

That piece of code belongs in your Brocfile. Your project’s brocfile is yours to change as you see fit.
