setup

1. Install npm install --save-dev gulp-runtime

2. Open a gulpfile, or create one, and

change this line

var gulp = require('gulp');

with

var gulp = require('gulp-runtime').create();

After that run the gulpfile with node directly from the command line

node gulpfile.js default watch serve

Thats it! When no arguments are given the default task will run instead.

3. What about the CLI? Can I just run gulp-runtime from the terminal?

Yes. For this add an alias to your .bashrc or .zshrc

alias gulp-runtime='node $(find . -name "gulpfile.js" -not -path "./node_modules/*" | head -n1)'

which will use the first gulpfile.js found in the current working directory excluding node_modules.

Right after this open a new terminal tab and write

gulp-runtime --tasks default watch serve
