gulp vs nodemon: What are the differences?
What is gulp? The streaming build system. Build system automating tasks: minification and copying of all JavaScript files, static images. More capable of watching files to automatically rerun the task when a file changes.
What is nodemon? A simple monitor script for use during development of a node.js app. It is an open source utility that will monitor for any changes in your source and automatically restart your server. It has a default support for node & coffeescript, but easy to run any executable (such as python, make, etc).
gulp can be classified as a tool in the "JS Build Tools / JS Task Runners" category, while nodemon is grouped under "node.js Application Monitoring".
gulp and nodemon are both open source tools. It seems that gulp with 31.3K GitHub stars and 4.4K forks on GitHub has more adoption than nodemon with 18.7K GitHub stars and 1.24K GitHub forks.
