gulp
Flags
gulp has very few flags to know about. All other flags are for tasks to use if needed.
• |
−v or −−version will display the global and local gulp versions |
||
• |
−−require <module path> will require a module before running the gulpfile. This is useful for transpilers but also has other applications. You can use multiple −−require flags |
||
• |
−−gulpfile <gulpfile path> will manually set path of gulpfile. Useful if you have multiple gulpfiles. This will set the CWD to the gulpfile directory as well |
||
• |
−−cwd <dir path> will manually set the CWD. The search for the gulpfile, as well as the relativity of all requires will be from here |
||
• |
−T or −−tasks will display the task dependency tree for the loaded gulpfile |
||
• |
−−tasks−simple will display a plaintext list of tasks for the loaded gulpfile |
||
• |
−−color will force gulp and gulp plugins to display colors even when no color support is detected |
||
• |
−−no−color will force gulp and gulp plugins to not display colors even when color support is detected |
||
• |
−−silent will disable all gulp logging |
The CLI adds process.env.INIT_CWD which is the original cwd it was launched from.
Task specific flags
Refer to this StackOverflow http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23023650/is−it−possible−to−pass−a−flag−to−gulp−to−have−it−run−tasks−in−different−ways link for how to add task specific flags
Tasks
Tasks can be executed by running gulp <task> <othertask>. Just running gulp will execute the task you registered called default. If there is no default task gulp will error.
Compilers
You can find a list of supported languages at interpret https://github.com/tkellen/node−interpret#jsvariants. If you would like to add support for a new language send pull request/open issues there.
