gulp-list

Gulp list helps you list all your available tasks in the console. Especially helpful for bigger projects.

Usage

npm install gulp-list --save-dev

Simply create a JSON file with your list of tasks:

tasks.json

{
    "task": "This is a task",
    "task 2": "This task does this thing",
    "task 3": "What was the point in making task 3...this is just an example"
}

You also add WARN tags to your description to display further highlighted information to the user. e.g. It may be a private or CI build task.

{
    "task": "This task is private. WARN: So I will tell you it is private"
}

Then use with gulp like this:

var gulpList = require('gulp-list');

gulp.task('help', function () {
    gulp.src('./path_to_your_tasks.json')
    .pipe(gulpList());
});

This will then print out your list of tasks to the console (note: The task name will be highighted blue and any WARN's will be highlighted red)

Available Tasks:

task      This is a task
task 2    This task does this thing
task 3    What was the point in making task 3...this is just an example
