Heroku Buildpack for node/bower/gulp

Setup

1. Install the Heroku Toolbelt.

2. On the command line, set your app's buildpack URL to target this repository:

   heroku config:set BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/krry/heroku-buildpack-nodejs-gulp-bower.git
   

3. Set the NODE_ENV to an environment name of your choice:

   heroku config:set NODE_ENV={{env}} // I like to keep my `env` names short, e.g., "prod", "stage", "test", "int", "dev"
   

4. Allow the Heroku instance to install devDependencies stored in your package.json as heroku recommends.

   heroku config:set NPM_CONFIG_PRODUCTION=false
   

5. For each environment name, add a Gulp task named heroku:{{env}} that builds the app for that environment.

   var gulp = require('gulp');
   
   gulp.tasks('heroku:prod', [default]);
