Can't figure out how gulp release or gulp build works and some other issues.

Hi,

So I've spent a good amount of time trying to get familiar with this repo, however i am stuck at trying to build my app. Doing 'gulp-release' outputs a bunch of folder in /dist with no html files. After doing a bit of research I understand that it is overwriting the index.html itself rather than creating a new one in dist.. however there seems to be other issues.

1. For some reason, everytime i run gulp release some comment arrows (<!-- -->) keep adding up near the system.config.js and jspm_packages/system.js:
2. this is where the /dist script is pointing, which results in a 404.

This is the nicest angular-es6 boilerplate i found so far and was excited to get started with it, but I can't seem to get past this issue. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

run gulp watch while in development.

You should only run gulp release once, and yes, running it multiple times will keep commenting out that block - hence the arrows.

Did gulp release output any errors while it was running?

@marjan-georgiev No errors from gulp release.

Here is the output: https://gist.github.com/HarrisRobin/6970a1596d7d3048cc5c

Re-cloning the entire project, running npm start and then gulp release once gives me this when i open the index.html :
