$ gulp

Compiles Sass and boots up BrowserSync at http://localhost:8080

Publishing

Though the project uses gulp-gh-pages, it does not publish to GitHub pages. The intention is to deploy the static site to a separate branch, so Middlebury ITS can pull down the branch to their hosting server as plain, compiled, static content.

$ gulp deploy --production

This takes the output dist folder and commits it to the site branch, then pushes to GitHub. Don't forget the --production to minify assets.

As mentioned above, IT then has to pull this branch to the server so it's live.
