Gulp Run

Overview

Gulp-run is an innovative tool designed to enhance your Gulp or vinyl pipeline by providing seamless integration of shell commands. With the rise of command-line interfaces based on piping, gulp-run allows developers to harness the power of their shell commands directly within their Gulp tasks. This makes it easier than ever to process files in a way that is both efficient and versatile.

This plugin stands out as a user-friendly solution inspired by both gulp-shell and gulp-spawn, aiming to improve upon their functionalities. Whether you're running scripts or manipulating files, gulp-run is a powerful addition to any developer's toolkit.
