Task Automation

Gulp

// gulpfile.js
const gulp = require('gulp');
const sass = require('gulp-sass')(require('sass'));
const autoprefixer = require('gulp-autoprefixer');
const cleanCSS = require('gulp-clean-css');
const terser = require('gulp-terser');
const imagemin = require('gulp-imagemin');
const del = require('del');

// Clean
gulp.task('clean', () => del(['dist']));

// Styles
gulp.task('styles', () =>
  gulp.src('src/styles/**/*.scss')
    .pipe(sass().on('error', sass.logError))
    .pipe(autoprefixer())
    .pipe(cleanCSS())
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/css'))
);

// Scripts
gulp.task('scripts', () =>
  gulp.src('src/js/**/*.js')
    .pipe(terser())
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/js'))
);

// Images
gulp.task('images', () =>
  gulp.src('src/images/**/*')
    .pipe(imagemin())
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/images'))
);

// Watch
gulp.task('watch', () => {
  gulp.watch('src/styles/**/*.scss', gulp.series('styles'));
  gulp.watch('src/js/**/*.js', gulp.series('scripts'));
  gulp.watch('src/images/**/*', gulp.series('images'));
});

// Build
gulp.task('build', gulp.series(
  'clean',
  gulp.parallel('styles', 'scripts', 'images')
));

// Default
gulp.task('default', gulp.series('build', 'watch'));

Pre-commit Hooks

// lint-staged.config.js
