-  Rather than manage one giant configuration file responsible
-  for creating multiple tasks, each task has been broken out into
-  its own file in gulp/tasks. Any files in that directory get
-  automatically required below.
-
-  To add a new task, simply add a new task file that directory.
-  gulp/tasks/default.js specifies the default set of tasks to run
-  when you run `gulp`.
