Overview:

The Gulp boilerplate is a tool that provides a quick setup for gulp files. It is designed to help users get up and running with gulp quickly by providing tasks for markup compilation, stylesheet compilation, script compilation, source linting, and a static server with automatic live reload and style injection. The boilerplate currently uses pug, stylus, and es6/babel via rollup, but these technologies can be easily swapped out or removed based on user requirements. The tool assumes that most projects require tasks such as markup, style, and script compilation, as well as watching for changes. Users can fork their own version of the boilerplate and adapt it to fit their tech stack and specific tasks.

Features:

  • Markup compilation
  • Stylesheet compilation
  • Script compilation
  • Source linting
  • Static server with automatic live reload/style injection

Summary:

The Gulp boilerplate is a helpful tool for quickly setting up gulp files. It provides tasks for markup, style, and script compilation, along with source linting and a static server with live reload and style injection. The boilerplate is designed to be easily customizable, allowing users to adapt it to fit their own tech stack and specific needs. With a simple installation process, users can quickly get started with the boilerplate and benefit from its efficiency in gulp file setup.
