Gulp Workshop Exercises

These are the exercises for my Gulp.js workshop.

If you are coming to a workshop, before you come, please complete the following. You can read below or watch this handy video.

Have a Terminal / Command Line Ready

We will be running gulp via the command line so a terminal is helpful to have.

On OSX, you can go to Applications → Utilities → Terminal. If you know what you are doing here, you are welcome to use iTerm2 with Bash, ZSH or Fish.

On Windows, you may use the built in one at Start → Powershell however I think you will much prefer to use the cmder console emulator.

Install Node + NPM

Head on over to https://nodejs.org/en/ and download the latest version of Node.js. This will also come with npm.

Already have Node? Check versions!

Open a terminal and type npm -v && node -v. You should see the latest version of npm and node. You can check them again the versions on https://nodejs.org

Install All the exercise Dependencies

1. Download all the exercises or clone this repo somewhere safe (Not your Desktop!)
2. We need to make sure we have installed all the dependencies before the class. You can do this by running npm run deps from the main exercise folder. That will go through each exercise directory and run a npm install for you on each of the package.json files. This will take a while if it's your first time doing it.
