gulp CLI docs

   Flags
       gulp has very few flags to know about. All other flags are for tasks to use if needed.

       • -v or --version will display the global and local gulp versions

       • --require  <module  path>  will  require  a  module before running the gulpfile. This is
         useful for transpilers but also has other applications. You can use  multiple  --require
         flags

       • --gulpfile  <gulpfile  path>  will  manually  set  path  of gulpfile. Useful if you have
         multiple gulpfiles. This will set the CWD to the gulpfile directory as well

       • --cwd <dir path> will manually set the CWD. The search for the gulpfile, as well as  the
         relativity of all requires will be from here

       • -T  or  --tasks  will  display the task dependency tree for the loaded gulpfile. It will
         include the task names and their description ./API.md#fndescription.

       • --tasks-simple will display a plaintext list of tasks for the loaded gulpfile

       • --verify will verify plugins referenced in project's package.json  against  the  plugins
         blacklist

       • --color will force gulp and gulp plugins to display colors even when no color support is
         detected

       • --no-color will force gulp and gulp plugins  to  not  display  colors  even  when  color
         support is detected

       • --silent will disable all gulp logging

       The CLI adds process.env.INIT_CWD which is the original cwd it was launched from.

   Task specific flags
       Refer                      to                      this                      StackOverflow

       link for how to add task specific flags

   Tasks
       Tasks can be executed by running gulp <task> <task>....

       If  more  than one task is listed, Gulp will execute all of them concurrently, that is, as
       if they had all been listed as dependencies of a single task.

       Gulp does not serialize tasks listed on the command  line.  From  using  other  comparable
       tools  users may expect to execute something like gulp clean build, with tasks named clean
       and build. This will not produce the intended result, as the two tasks  will  be  executed
       concurrently.

       Just  running  gulp  will execute the task default. If there is no default task, gulp will
       error.

   Compilers
       You    can     find     a     list     of     supported     languages     at     interpret
       https://github.com/tkellen/node-interpret#jsvariants. If you would like to add support for
       a new language send pull request/open issues there.

   Examples
   Example gulpfile
         gulp.task('one', function(done) {
           // do stuff
           done();
         });

         gulp.task('two', function(done) {
           // do stuff
           done();
         });

         gulp.task('three', three);

         function three(done) {
           done();
         }
         three.description = "This is the description of task three";

         gulp.task('four', gulp.series('one', 'two'));

         gulp.task('five',
           gulp.series('four',
             gulp.parallel('three', function(done) {
               // do more stuff
               done();
             })
           )
         );

   -T or --tasks
       Command: gulp -T or gulp --tasks
