Automate tasks with Gulp

When you start to work or initialize a new project, a good choice is to use Gulp to automatize some common tasks. Using a task runner like gulp allows you to take repetitive tasks and automate them. On the next lines, I will bring 3 advantages of use Gulp in your project:

Easy to use: After of run some commands, you can have all the environment running.
Powerful: You count with more of 2180 plugins available to use totally free.
Easy to Learn: After of read the initial getting started guide, you are ready to run your firsts tasks.

An example of these advantages, is the following shortcode that allows you to run a local server on your computer to test your project:

var gulp = require('gulp'),
    connect = require('gulp-connect');

gulp.task('webserver', function() {
  connect.server({
    livereload: true,
    port: 8000,
  });
});

gulp.task('default', ['webserver']);
