gulp-recipes

Not your typical collection of gulp recipes for your streaming build.

Rather than having a big 'ol gulpfile.js with a ton of gulp.task(),

• each recipe is a standalone folder,
• with its own gulpfile.js and minimal set of gulp.task(),
• healthy pinch of comments,
• comes along with real examples that you can gulp to see it in action,
• a big serving of README.md included!

Simply cd to a recipe folder, gulp and slurp away.

Motivations

• Enough with the plugins wrapping over an existing library, created just for convenient's sake.
• Vanilla node modules over wrappers.
• If an existing library can be vinyled, tapped, plumbered, transformed from/to buffers and/or streams, let there be a recipe for it.
• A lot of recipe snippets laying around the web; most are working off the bat. Some needs a little bit more pizzazz. And pizzas.
