create gulp task serve the ./dist folder

There's no way to run the generator and start developing, because there's no task to serve files, and watch for changes etc

I think there is no need for that !
You can serve files from src folder while developing. ( requirejs dynamically loads other js files).
When you are ready to deploy you app , run gulp and use the content of dist folder .

I'm on windows and there's no easy way to serve a folder with static content. Plus, the way you described doesn't watch for file changes

[aminroosta]

i'm on windows too.
here is what i usually do, first of all i install a command line http server :
npm install -g static-server
then i go to the root of project cd path/to/project/folder
and then static-server src/.
there is no need to watch for file changes , simply refresh your browser and make sure that it does not
cache the files (disable browser cache).

Ah, nice. I didn't know about static-server. Thanks!
Still, livereload is awesome and pretty much a standard for gulp/grunt tasks

If you have python installed you can also just do python -m SimpleHTTPServer from the directory.
