Tip

Combine it with gulp-filter to only change ownership of a subset of the files.

var gulp = require('gulp');
var gFilter = require('gulp-filter');
var chown = require('gulp-chown');

var filter = gFilter('src/vendor-*.js');

gulp.task('default', function () {
	return gulp.src('src/*.js')
		// filter a subset of the files
		.pipe(filter)
		// change ownership of them
		.pipe(chown('sindresorhus'))
		// bring back the previously filtered out files
		.pipe(filter.restore())
		.pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));
});
