cd projectname
bash install.sh

npm install
bower install

Finally, run npm start to run Gulp. Your finished site will be created in a folder called public , viewable at this URL:

http://localhost:8000

To create compressed, production-ready assets, run

npm run build

Tasks

• gulp watch to start the watch task, at the moment you will have to use a browser extention for live reload.

• gulp to build for production, all the magic happens and template files will be moved to craft/templates, resources (images/js/css) will be concatinated, minified and wrapped in silk before they end up in /public.

• gulp bower Injects bower dependencies into _layout.html. This task will run on gulp watch as well. Remember to --save when installing components.

TODO

• Add clean function to gulpfile.js
• Add gulp useref
• Remove gulp
