Quickly check the visual difference of two websites. This also works with local sites.

1. Install node and make sure npm (Node Package Manager) is also installed
2. Clone this repo with git clone https://github.com/una/gulp-starter-env (in terminal) or download the zip
3. In terminal, cd (change directory) to the folder containing your project. (i.e. if I start at ~ and I have a Dev folder on my Desktop containing this project, I might type cd Desktop/Dev/gulp-starter-env). Alternatively, you can type cd and drag the location of the folder into your terminal and hit enter.
4. When inside the directory which contains this project in terminal, type npm install. If (and only if) you're having trouble with npm install, try sudo npm install -- this makes you act as a super user
5. In the terminal, enter gulp
6. Take note of the Access URLs provided in your terminal. Your web page should pop up at http://localhost:3000. You can access this same page on your various devices in the same wifi network with the provided External URL. You can share the External URL with coworkers and they'll see whats on your screen.
7. Edit your Sass code inside of the scss folder. You can make subfolders inside of that to better organize your code. Prefix your sass files with an underscore. More info on using @import to organize your files here
8. Your minified files will be automagically created and updated in dist/. It will create your optimized css, html, and javascript files for you. Never edit files within the dist/ folder. (Dist stands for Distribution)
9. Keep gulp running while you're making changes. When you want to close out of the gulp task, in the terminal, hit ctrl + C
