where is dist-folder as used by grunt when running yo angular

I used yeoman to scaffold an angular app like so:

yo angular --minsafe

Now, I'm trying to set up jade > html compilation using grunt-contrib-jade but I don't understand the huge Gruntfile.js generated for me.

There is a mountFolder function:

var mountFolder = function (connect, dir) {
  return connect.static(require('path').resolve(dir));
};

...and a yeoman config object:

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

when running grunt server chrome opens up and I get served my page. But where is this magic 'dist' folder that's been served? I can't find it on disk...

The dist folder is only created when you run the build grunt task. While you run grunt server, you get the combined contents of app/ and the .tmp/ folder served to you, whereby .tmp contains temporary build artifacts like compiled SASS stylesheets, compiled CoffeeScript files and it would be the place you want to keep your compiled jade output.
