GULP

30.
danielfisher.com
What is Gulp?
• A node.js Task Runner
– Most contributions by
Eric Schoffstall (contra)
– Grunt plug-ins often perform n tasks
• Gulp plug-ins are designed
to do only thing.
– Grunt requires plug-ins for basics
• Gulp has them built-in.
– Grunt uses JSON-like data configuration files
• Gulp uses leaner, simpler JavaScript code.
