title: What is the role of src and dist folders?
body: <p>I'm looking at a git repo for a jquery plugin. I want to make a few changes for use in my own project, but when I opened up the repo it had a structure I've never seen before. I'm not sure which files to use / copy into my own project.</p>
  
  <p>There is a "dist" and a "src" folder. What purpose do these serve? Is this something specific for gruntjs or maybe jquery plugins?</p>
  
  <p>The git repo I'm curious about: <a href="https://github.com/ducksboard/gridster.js">https://github.com/ducksboard/gridster.js</a></p>
