Can Gulp overwrite all src files?

by

I can think of two solutions: Add an option for base to your gulp.src like so: gulp.src([…files…], {base: ‘./’}).pipe(…)… This will tell gulp to preserve the entire relative path. Then pass ‘./’ into gulp.dest() to overwrite the original files. (Note: this is untested, you should make sure you have a backup in case it doesn’t … Read more
