Gulp – Task Runner
Lab: Local Development Environment Setup for Mac
Video Runtime: 07:00
Recorded: February 27, 2018
We want to automate redundant tasks to save ourselves time and money. Tools like gulp let us automate various tasks such as compiling Sass or LESS in CSS, optimizing images, svgs, fonts, etc., error checking our CSS and JavaScript code against known standards, and minifying the final files. These tasks are perfect candidates for a JavaScript-powered task runner.
Gulp is my favorite, though Grunt is still popular too. In this episode, you and I will install gulp.
