Decided randomly today that I will use Bootstrap 5 for the website I'm working on. Short term, the shyt is going to potentially break repeatedly until a stable version is released, but I think that the lack of reliance on jQuery as well as the modern buttons and customization ability will be worth it in the long run.
Typically I used a CDN for Bootstrap but I am using NPM this time around. I looked at a few videos of people using bootstrap thru npm & almost everyone installed gulp. Can someone drop some knowledge on gulp for me?
Right now, my understanding is that it is live server capabilities (a la nodemon) and that it automatically minifies code. Is that the gist of it... so it is efficient but not mandatory? Just curious to make sure it is worthwhile before I dig into the gulp more
