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

   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();
             })
           )
         );

       Command: gulp -T or gulp --tasks
