Kickstart is my opinionated starter kit for frontend development.

• build process using Gulp
• CSS optimizations using PostCSS
• TypeScript module transpiling with Browserify
• some inspirations from HTML5 Boilerplate
• minimalistic Normalize for good default styling
• some optimized PHP includes
• basic search engine optimization

• gulp-cli

npm install && gulp

Installs all dependencies listed in package.json and runs Gulp’s default task afterwards.

The default Gulp task using gulp builds CSS/JS files from their sources. CSS files get transformed using PostCSS while TypeScript files get compiled using Browserify.

gulp

To automatically run the Gulp default task after changing a file, start the watch task:

gulp watch

There are no actual unit or integration tests (yet). Testing currently includes linting the CSS source files using Stylelint and linting the TypeScript source files using XO:

npm test
