jumpstart-gulp

Overview

This can be used as a quick start for gulp projects. Designed for use with WordPress, but should work pretty much wherever. Inspired by WPGulp by AhmadAwais.

Prerequisites

This project uses Gulp, a Node.js task runner and should already be installed as a prerequisite.

Confirm that node and npm are properly installed using the command line:

node --version
npm --version

Additionally, the Gulp command command line must be globaly installed.

npm install --global gulp-cli

You can verify that gulp-cli is installed by running

gulp --version

Quickstart: Homebrew on macOS

On macOS, ensure command line tools are installed. If they are not, install them using

xcode-select --install

Then, install and update Homebrew. At the time of this writing, past the following into terminal:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
brew doctor
brew upgrade

Next, install node, gulp-cli and:

brew install node gulp-cli
