What is Gulp

Gulp is a toolkit to automate and enhance your workflow and you can use gulp and the flexibility of Javascript to automate slow, repetitive workflows and compose them into efficient build pipelines. It is flexible, comparable, and efficient. For example, if you are building a typescript project you can use gulp to transpile into a Javascript before running your project or you can use some plugins to optimize images for your project or you can watch files and build the project automatically.
