About:
Gulp CLI is the official command-line interface for the Gulp task runner. It allows developers to automate repetitive tasks like minification, compilation, and live reloading directly from the terminal. This tool serves as the essential bridge between the Gulp API and the developer's workflow.
Key Features:
  • Automates development workflows and build processes
  • Supports asynchronous task execution and incremental builds
  • Offers rich ecosystem of plugins via npm
  • Features simple and intuitive API for defining tasks
Use Cases:
  • Automating asset pipelines for web development (Sass, Babel, Minification)
  • Setting up local development servers with live reloading
  • Running code quality checks and unit tests automatically
Alternatives:
  • npm scripts – Native to Node.js, simpler for basic tasks but less powerful for complex flows
  • webpack – More opinionated and module-focused, whereas Gulp is a flexible stream-based build system
  • grunt-cli – Uses configuration-over-code approach, generally slower than Gulp's streaming build system
