What I Wish I'd Known About Equity Before Joining A Unicorn

Disclaimer: This piece is written anonymously. The names of a few particular companies are mentioned, but as common examples only.

How to set up Gulp with a Craft CMS project

I freaking love working with technologies like Gulp, and wanted to share how to get my current Craft front-end workflow set up. With a few tweaks, this can also be used with virtually any other sites (I've used it with Laravel, static sites, ExpressionEngine, etc).

Project Directory Structure

project root/
- craft/
  - templates/
(your craft template files)

Setup local wordpress install & local wordpress database
Create production database from mysql wizard (make new user password and db)
Setup grunt files from the wordpress root in the console (rememeber you can drag and drop a folder onto the console and hit enter):

$ npm init & Fill in relevant details (you can just hit enter a few times)
$ npm install grunt --save-dev - install grunt into node_modules folder
$ npm install grunt-wordpress-deploy --save-dev - install grunt wordpress deploy into node_modules folder
Create gruntfile.js in root & copy and paste below gruntfile.js into yours.
Fill in the local and production information
- Remember that the two path: lines need to have a trailing slash / (lines 37 & 46)

grunt push_files --target=production

Install Package Control. For SublimeText 2, paste the following in Terminal:

import urllib2,os; pf='Package Control.sublime-package'; ipp = sublime.installed_packages_path(); os.makedirs( ipp ) if not os.path.exists(ipp) else None; urllib2.install_opener( urllib2.build_opener( urllib2.ProxyHandler( ))); open( os.path.join( ipp, pf), 'wb' ).write( urllib2.urlopen( 'http://sublime.wbond.net/' +pf.replace( ' ','%20' )).read()); print( 'Please restart Sublime Text to finish installation')

From here on out, use Package Control to install everything. ⌘+Shift+P, then type Install to get a list of installable packages you can 'livesearch through. After installing plugins, they should be running.
