Your New Project

Either make a fresh clone – or checkout the master branch and copy the contents to your new project directory.

Make sure you remove the .git directory when you've done this:

# might need sudo
$ rm -R .git

Init your git repo and add the remote:

$ git init 
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "Init"

$ git remote add origin ssh://[email protected]/USER/REPO.git # BitBucket
$ git remote add origin [email protected]:USER/REPO.git # GitHub

$ git push -u origin master

Getting Started

$ npm install

Gulp / Tasks

All the gulp tasks are imported as separate files which are organised within /gulp/tasks/. I based the setup on gulp-starter.

All task configuration options can be updated within /gulp/config.js.

Below are some familiar tasks for developing and building, but for more detail please have a look through the tasks themselves.

$ gulp

Default task, alias for build:dev.

$ gulp watch

First runs the build task before watching files for changes.

$ gulp serve

First runs the watch task before creating a BrowserSync server instance.

$ gulp templates[:replace|:copy]

Runs a replace task and a copy task for HTML files.

$ gulp css[:sass]

Creates Autoprefixed stylesheets with source maps.

$ gulp js

Uses Browserify and Babel(ify) to bundle all javascript files, which can be written in ES6 if you wish.

$ gulp images[:optimised|:notoptimised|:vector|:raster|:symbols]

Image optimisation for rasters (jpg, png, gif) and vectors.

Run on it's own will only copy the images to the build directory. Adding either the [:raster] or [:vector] flags will optimise just those files, whereas the [:build] flag will optimise everything.

$ gulp clean[:assets|:bower]

Empty the relevant directories. [:assets] will remove all build assets.

$ gulp modernizr

Generates and uglifies a new Modernizr build based on the files it's specified to scan and the forced options within the config settings.

$ gulp build[:dev|:prod]

Empties and creates new, production-ready build files.

$ gulp test

Executes the Mocha testing suite using Chai.

$ gulp bump

Bump, commit and tag the package.json version. The following arguments are supported:

$ gulp bump --patch # 0.0.X (default)
$ gulp bump --minor # 0.X.0
$ gulp bump --major # X.0.0
$ gulp bump --version=1.2.3
