Refresh Browser

[pyrossh]

There should be some way to refresh the currently opened browser so that you can reload/refresh the page when some file changes. This would make it easier for developing static websites and phonegap/cordova applications

You could use gulp-open on first run, then use gulp-livereload on all subsequent builds:

I'm traveling right now and will see if I can create an example by the 21st.
Nag me if I do not. ;)

How to open the file the first time, then reload it afterwards:

var open = require('gulp-open');
var livereload = require('gulp-livereload');

var opened = false;
gulp.task('open', function(){
  if (opened == false) {
    gulp.src("./index.html")
    .pipe(open());
    opened = true;
  }
  else {
    gulp.src("./index.html")
    .pipe(livereload());
  }
});

All right, I will close this now.

What if you're not working locally and you can't use livereload? I push my files to a remote server (Office 365) and I just need the tab to refresh when I make updates.
