gulp help

This is not an issue

The default settings for gulp I thought would work to at least see the site. is this not configured to work by default?

  "sites": [
    {
      "package": "boilerplate",
      "theme": "default",
      "components": [],
      "server": {
        "proxy": "magentoboilerplate.dev",
        "port": 3000
      },

Great work, sorry to bother you about this little thing.

Hi there,

Right, so that’s something I need to document.

You still need to configure a virtual host (using something like MAMP/WAMP). In the config file you have there, you have “magentoboilerplate.dev” as your virtual host.

The idea is that BrowserSync is proxying your local web host so that it can automatically reload an inject styles. It's basically the exact same thing that apps like CodeKit do, except it's open-source.

I'm sorry not to have lots of documentation yet, I know there's a few steps which are unclear.

I'll try elaborate on these ASAP, but the steps are (after following the "installation" on the README):

1. Create a virtual host locally (e.g. magentoboilerplate.dev).
2. Install Magento regularly.
3. Navigate to System > Configuration > General > Design and change the package/theme to match your config.json file.

ahh I thought the entire server ran on gulp and that did seem funny to me, I now realize gulp is just browser refresh and not an actual server. I will attempt with MAMP Pro.

recently I have been trying to learn vagrant (with puphpet https://drive.google.com/a/skincarebyalana.com/folderview?id=0ByC3SGPRqwZYfk9yRTZzdTI2eUtvMDM1QjdFcm1qYUJYdEdVbjYxVThzS2tLTlFZZW1QcjA&usp=sharing ) and use this instead of MAMP. Later I might try to get it running in vagrant because then I could also package that up in my fork. I do find MAMP to but much easier to use though.

a part of me wants to just go in and take the theme that uses sass without compass and just use that individually. however it will be good for me to start using these other tools you have here especially gulp because that seems to be gaining popularity. and there just pure awesome as well.

Thank you!!!
