gulp:tldr:7c202

gulp: Run individual tasks.
$ gulp ${task} ${othertask}
try on your machine

This command is using the gulp task runner to invoke a specific task with one or more subtasks.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • gulp: This is the command line executable for the gulp task runner.
  • ${task}: This is a placeholder for the name of the main task you want to run. Replace ${task} with the actual name of the task you want to execute.
  • ${othertask}: This is a placeholder for the name of an additional subtask you want to run along with the main task. Replace ${othertask} with the actual name of the subtask you want to execute.

When you run this command, gulp will search for a corresponding task defined in the gulpfile.js file (or any other gulp configuration file specified). It will execute the specified ${task} along with the specified ${othertask} as a subtask.

For example, if you have a task named "build" and a subtask named "minify", you can run the command gulp build minify to execute the "minify" task as a subtask of the "build" task.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
