-Some designers might shy away from build tools when first starting out and I can understand the reasoning - task runners like `gulp` and `grunt` can seem daunting at first. So, I've decided to showcase my go-to setup for `gulp` and explain what the heck it does step-by-step. 
-
-Here is the final `gulp.js` file in all it's glory:
-
-
-    var gulp = require('gulp');
-    var shell = require('gulp-shell');
-    var sass = require('gulp-sass');
-    
-    /* Build and watch Jekyll (change this task to whatever you need) */
-    gulp.task('generate', shell.task('jekyll serve'));
-    
-    /* Compile SCSS files to CSS */
-    gulp.task('styles', function () {
-        return gulp.src('_includes/assets/sass/styles.scss')
-            .pipe(sass({
-                outputStyle: 'compressed'
-            }).on('error', sass.logError))
-            .pipe(gulp.dest('_includes/assets/css/'));
-    });
-    
-    /* Compile the assets */
-    gulp.task('assets', gulp.parallel(
-        'styles'
-    ));
-    
-    /* Build */
-    gulp.task('build', gulp.series(
-        'assets',
-        'generate'
-    ));
-
-
-Trust me, it's not complicated at all.
-
-## Grabbing what we need
-
-For our basic build file we are going to need only three modules: `gulp`, `gulp-shell` and `gulp-sass`.
-
-
-    var gulp = require('gulp');
-    var shell = require('gulp-shell');
-    var sass = require('gulp-sass');
-
-
-#### gulp
-This is the streaming build system, without it we can't do anything else.
-
-#### gulp-shell
-A gulp command line interface for us to interact with our terminal.
-
-#### gulp-sass
-Required for gulp to compile Sass into vanilla CSS.
-
-#### Bonus tasks
-
-<p>You can also toss in <code>gulp-minify</code> to clean-up any JavaScript you might be using, but for this example we're just going to keep things simple and focus on Sass only.</p>
-
-<p class="no-margin">Maybe I'll write about my <code>js</code> build workflow in a future article.</p>
-
-## Generating the build
-
-Our first step is to create the default task that will generate our build. In this example we are making the assumption that we're building a Jekyll website (but you can place any build command here):
-
-
-    gulp.task('generate', shell.task('jekyll serve'));
-
-
-Don't worry if this `generate` isn't clear, we come back to that later.
-
-## Processing our pre-processor
-
-We will name this next task `styles` since that's what it outputs - our styling. We start by telling gulp where our main `scss` directory is:
-
-
-    /* Change this directory to match yours */
-    return gulp.src('_includes/assets/sass/styles.scss')
-
-
-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:
-
-
-    .pipe(sass({
-        outputStyle: 'compressed'
-    }).on('error', sass.logError))
-
-    /* Change this to your destination directory */
-    .pipe(gulp.dest('_includes/assets/css/'));
-
-
-## Building our assets
-
-This step isn't 100% needed, but I like to include it for when more assets need to be added (minifying JavaScript, compressing images, etc)
-
-
-    /*
-    Compile the assets
-    */
-    gulp.task('assets', gulp.parallel(
-        'styles'
-    ));
-
-
-## Altogether now!
-
-Now we add a task that runs all other tasks in our gulp file (in this case it will run both `assets` and `generate`)
-
-
-    /*
-    Build
-    */
-    gulp.task('build', gulp.series(
-        'assets',
-        'generate'
-    ));
-
-
-And that's it - we're done! A very basic `gulp` build for compiling Sass.
