What is gulp doing?

This will start gulp and run a lot of tasks such as JS concat, start a browsersync server, convert sass to css and minify files. It takes all the files from the Src directory and puts the processed files into Build.

To see what Gulp is actually doing in full detail, look in gulpfile.js in the root directory. All processes are grouped in tasks such as JS, CSS or HTML.

For more information on how Gulp works see Gulp documentation.
