If you looking to combine multiple scripts as one. You can the use build script Boilerplate.
Why to use it? Its not only about scripts.
Combines and minifies javascript (via yui compressor)
Inlines stylesheets specified using @import in your CSS
Combines and minifies CSS
Optimizes JPGs and PNGs (with jpegtran & optipng)
Removes development only code (any remaining console.log files, profiling, test suite)
Basic to aggressive html minification (via htmlcompressor)
Autogenerates a cache manifest file (and links from the html tag) when you enable a property in the project config file.
Revises the file names of your assets so that you can use heavy caching (1 year expires).
Upgrades the .htaccess to use heavier caching
Updates your HTML to reference these new hyper-optimized CSS + JS files
Updates your HTML to use the minified jQuery instead of the development version
Remove unneeded references from HTML (like a root folder favicon)
Runs your JavaScript through a code quality tool (optional)
