Front End Gulp Boilerplate

Front-end boilerplate for Gulp with everything you need to get started.

• First download or clone this repo :)
• Then run npm install to install dev dependencies. Use sudo if needed.

You'll need to have Gulp installed. If you already have Gulp installed, you can skip the following line. It is as simple as running:

• npm install -g gulp

During development mode, run the default task so you'll have watchers and browser sync. Simply do the following:

• Run gulp to start it up
• Try to modify html, scss and javascript files and see how the page gets updated with BrowserSync

When you're ready to deploy, simply do the following:

• Run gulp deploy
• All of the files you need will be in /dist with your images optimized, css compressed and js compressed

Node Versions Supported

The following Node versions have been tested

• 4.x
• 6.x

Version

1.4.0

News

Version 2.0 is currently under development! It'll be a big release and will include some pretty cool and easy features. It'll make using and customizing Harvest a breeze. A peak on what's to come:

• Generator-based so it's simple to configure how you want
• Modular tasks makes it easy to tweak it without digging through everything
• More options! Including LESS, SCSS, Stylus, ES2015, Browserify, and many more options that will be supported out of the box
• More suprises :)

The current phases of work is being maintained on thos KANBAN: https://tree.taiga.io/project/ryanbenson-harvest-20/kanban so if you want to see how things are proressing you can see what's going on. If you have any ideas or thoughts let me know, as now is the time.
