Installation
Install Duo straight from npm with:

To get started just write normal Javascript, requiring dependencies straight from the file system or from GitHub as you need them:
var uid = require('matthewmueller/uid');
var fmt = require('yields/fmt');
var msg = fmt('Your unique ID is %s!', uid());
window.alert(msg);Then use duo to install your dependencies and build your file:
$ duo index.jsFinally, drop a single <script> onto your page and you're done!
<script src="build/index.js"></script>Same goes for CSS! You can require dependencies and assets from the file system or straight from GitHub:
@import 'necolas/normalize.css';
body {
color: teal;
background: url('./background-image.jpg');
}Then bundle up your CSS with duo:
$ duo index.cssAnd add your bundled-up stylesheet to your page!
<link rel="stylesheet" href="build/index.css">Authenticate with Github
We recommend that you authenticate with Github so you can increase your rate limit and allow you to pull from private repositories. To do that, add the following entry to your ~/.netrc file:
machine api.github.com
login <username>
password <token>You can create a new token here: https://github.com/settings/tokens/new
