Best Practices for Gulp, Grunt, and Other Build Tools

In order to use external build like Gulp, Grunt, or Webpack with Forestry’s previewing and deployment, you should configure them as follows:

1. Use a NodeJS-based tool installable via NPM and configured in package.json.
2. Define the build script(s) as NPM scripts in your package.json file.
3. Use custom build commands to call these NPM scripts.
