woops thought this was for the 4.0 branch, my bad

Can someone please point out exactly the features that might break when using gulp-cli globally with gulp 3 locally

[phated]

@suyash gulpjs/gulp-cli#7 has all the context

Specific example on how things would have broken: npm/npm#7130 (comment)

Thanks for clearing that up, but my use case is simple, I have gulp-cli installed globally (and not gulp) and gulp 3.8.11 as a devDependency (and not gulp-cli), and everything seems to work fine. I just want to confirm that the only issue with using gulp this way is the bin conflict that arises if you want to install both gulp and gulp-cli as npm dependencies, but other than that, everything should work, and will work once gulp 4 comes out and I simply upgrade my dependency in package.json

@suyash correct, everything works if you do the dance of removing gulp from global then install gulp-cli globally and don't try to install them at the same time. It's not something we want to promote until the blockers are dealt with.
