Add a build/deploy functionality

[jamieschmid]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. After developing, you need to remove a lot of files, and zip the folder in order to upload to WP if you are doing a manual process. This means removing sass folder, any compiler files, node_modules, maybe a docs folder etc. A way to deploy a production build within a new directory would complete this tool I believe!

Describe the solution you'd like

• Be able to define which folders/files you want excluded from the deploy
• Identify what you want to run on build: concatenate, minify, etc. I typically use non-minified versions during dev, but need minified files in the deploy version.
• Auto zip the deploy folder once it's done

There's some existing PR's for this you can review also-

Deploy script generates zip file PR: https://github.com/ahmadawais/WPGulp/pull/143

PR using gulp-if and gulp-clean to run a deploy https://github.com/ahmadawais/WPGulp/pull/135

I'm looking into this as a solution that does the following:

• Allows you to zip the directory
• Define the path where the zip is placed afterward
• Define things to ignore in the zip file

Is that it?

Finally got some time to do this:

New configurable zip settings https://github.com/ahmadawais/WPGulp/blob/master/WPGulp/wpgulp.config.js#L79-L110

V3 Release notes: https://github.com/ahmadawais/WPGulp/releases/tag/3.0.0

Major refactor and also updated the demo WPGulpTheme

Please test it and enjoy the v3 release.

Hi @ahmadawais thank you for your work on this, but I'm not sure how to run a task to do it.

I don't see anywhere in the source code where zip related settings are actually referenced.
