I've been looking to combine my preferred workflow, using Gulp for task automation, with my currently preferred CMS - October. I've been developing October websites for clients using Mamp Pro to set up a localhost and Koala to compile sass to css. While this works, it feels far from efficient compared to the Gulp workflow.

The main arguments for using Gulp, in my case, is that it can be configured to eg. compile my files 'on the fly' and serve the results directly to my browser using Browsersync. Can anyone guide me towards the correct way of configuring my gulpfile etc. so I can do away with Mamp & Koala, while continuing to use October? Alternatively, a downloadable boilerplate which I can adjust to my needs would be great too.

Any help is appreciated.

There is an opinionated approach for the frontend workflow combined with October here. This specific theme however uses npm to manage its dependencies and is ready to be used with vue. But I think you can get some inspiration there, how you could set up your own enviroment, if you prefer Gulp ;)

Please consider, that compiling CSS and JS to production ready minified version is also supported out of the ox by the vuetober theme.

This theme demonstrates using Gulp with CMS assets, even changing them from Gulp tasks: https://octobercms.com/theme/castus-f5fresh
