We have an internal library that can be installed via bower install git link. How do I add the git link inside the bower.json file so that when I run bower install, it will install it too?
Didn't know it was easy. I just reinstalled it with --save and it updated my bower.json file. Now I know how it looks like inside the bower.json file.

I want to use datatable and toastr plugins on my project using laravel as my framework. should i include these on bower.json file? if so, what value should I put?
I can do this manually via bower install (git location) on the command prompt though, but I'm just wondering if I can do this on bower.json file so that I can just do the bower install command.
If you want to simply add them to the bower.json file, you can add them to dependencies like such:
{
"name": "your-application-name",
"dependencies": {
"toastr": "^2.1.3",
"datatables.net": "^1.10.16"
}
}
If you're still interested in saving them to the bower.json file from the command line, you can do it by including the --save flag to your install command:
$ bower install --save toastr
$ bower install --save datatables.net
That will download the components as well as add them to the bower.json file.

When I do a bower install jquery-ui --save , bower_modules/jquery-ui is created.
This repo does not contain the Gruntfile.js
Does bower install delete files from the repo?
Is there a way to configure this?
The jquery-ui used by this bower package points to https://github.com/components/jqueryui and not to https://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui
This repo only contains the precompiled files from jquery-ui.
I wanted to install the backbone.routefilter plugin via Bower. It looks like there are 2 projects with that same name. http://sindresorhus.com/bower-components/#!/search/routefilter.
When I try to bower install backbone.routefilter#0.2.0 it tries to install 0.2.0 version from wanderer I want the latest from boazsender. Is there anyway to tell bower which repo to use?
That one seems to be wrongly registered. Use the correct one instead:
bower install backbone.routefilter
I run the following commands using bower 1.0.0:
mkdir testdir;cd testdir
bower init #accept defaults
bower install jquery -s #the -s is supposed to cause update of bower.json
less bower.json
In bower.json I expect to see dependencies listed, but there are none. What is going on?
NOTE: bower install jquery --save does work
NOTE:
The option I am referring to was documented through bower help install
**-S**, --save Save installed packages into the project's bower.json dependencies
from bower help, save option has a capital S
-S, --save Save installed packages into the project's bower.json dependencies
