How to use

Everything that is related to Gulp is inside the folder 'gulp`

Configurations file

Eg.:

'use strict';

var paths = {
	dev  : '../dev/',
	dist : '../dist/'
};

var config = {
	dev : {
		styl : paths.dev + 'styl/**/*.styl'
	},
	dist : {
		css : paths.dist + 'css/'
	}
};

module.exports = config;

Gulpfile

In the gulpfile.js have a function getTask to load all your tasks.

This funciont receive the name of file with parameter.

The tasks need stay on tasks folder.

Tasks

Put your tasks in the gulpfile as in example:

gulp.task('styl', getTask('styl'));

gulp.task('default', ['styl']);

This will load the task styl that is inside the folder 'tasks`.

Run npm i into gulp folder.

Now, modify the main.styl file on dev/styl.

Run gulp and watch the magic!
