<p>Some designers might shy away from build tools when first starting out and I can understand the reasoning - task runners like <code>gulp</code> and <code>grunt</code> can seem daunting at first. So, I&#8217;ve decided to showcase my go-to setup for <code>gulp</code> and explain what the heck it does step-by-step. </p>

<p>We will name this next task <code>styles</code> since that&#8217;s what it outputs - our styling. We start by telling gulp where our main <code>scss</code> directory is:</p>

<p>This next piece tells the plugin to compress our final compiled CSS, log any errors if there are issues with the build and then export it to our destination directory:</p>
