grunt appending hash to dist/ files

Question

TL;DR: How do i stop the hash from being appended to the dist/ files Thanks!

Using yeoman (grunt + bower), I am trying to deploy my app to heroku. I can run the app in connect mode but the dist/ version of the app has a hash like 1d9f82a4.logo.png that is breaking my image links in my html. Here's my grunt file:

'use strict';
var LIVERELOAD_PORT = 35729;
var SERVER_PORT = 9000;
var lrSnippet = require('connect-livereload')({port: LIVERELOAD_PORT});
var mountFolder = function (connect, dir) {
    return connect.static(require('path').resolve(dir));
};

// # Globbing
// for performance reasons we're only matching one level down:
// 'test/spec/{,*/}*.js'
// use this if you want to match all subfolders:
// 'test/spec/**/*.js'
// templateFramework: 'handlebars'

module.exports = function (grunt) {
    // show elapsed time at the end
    require('time-grunt')(grunt);
    // load all grunt tasks
    require('load-grunt-tasks')(grunt);

    // configurable paths
    var yeomanConfig = {
        app: 'app',
        dist: 'heroku/dist'
    };

    grunt.initConfig({
        yeoman: yeomanConfig,
        watch: {
            options: {
                nospawn: true,
                livereload: true

Answer 1

You have to comment out the rev task in the custom build task.

grunt.registerTask('build', [
    'clean:dist',
    'coffee',
    'createDefaultTemplate',
    'handlebars',
    'compass:dist',
    'useminPrepare',
    'requirejs',
    'imagemin',
    'htmlmin',
    'concat',
    'cssmin',
    'uglify',
    'copy',
    // 'rev',
    'usemin'
]);
