gulp-shell

gulp-shell

A handy command line interface for gulp

Installation

npm install --save-dev gulp-shell

Usage

var gulp  = require('gulp')
var shell = require('gulp-shell')

gulp.task('example', function () {
  return gulp.src('*.js')
    .pipe(shell([
      'echo  <%= file.path %>',
      'ls -l <%= file.path %>'
    ]))
})

If you just want to execute a bunch of commands only once, starting the stream with gulp.src('') should do the trick.

Or you can use this shorthand:

gulp.task('shorthand', shell.task([
  'echo hello',
  'echo world'
]))

Note: All the command will be executed in an environment where PATH prepended by ./node_modules/.bin, allowing you to run executables in your dependencies.

API
