gulp-hub

Gulp extension to run tasks from multiple gulpfiles.

Basic Usage:

1. Install gulp-hub:

   $ npm install gulp-hub

2. Create a gulpfile.js which looks like this:

   var gulp = require('gulp');
   var HubRegistry = require('gulp-hub');
   
   /* load some gulpfiles into the registry */
   var hub = new HubRegistry(['./project1/gulpfile.js', './project1/gulpfile.js']);
   
   /* tell gulp to use the tasks just loaded */
   gulp.registry(hub);

3. Run gulp [taskname]

Gulp will execute [taskname] in all of the gulpfiles.

More Details:

HubRegistry constructor accepts glob patterns. Tasks registered in the same gulpfile from which gulp-hub is called will be included. If one of the child gulpfiles also uses HubRegistry then that is handled too.

Use gulp --tasks to view the task tree:

gulp --tasks
