Im interested in learning how to use this with vagrant. I have my set up pretty well defined and haven't run vagrant up just yet. Is there any documentation you have available that might clear that up?

Never mind, seems like as long as I run gulp locally and the host sync dir is properly mounted, it should all work out.

I am having little trouble with livereload with vagrant.

For those that may be running into issues with gulp-ruby-sass. The latest version has changed the syntax. I ran into this issue and took me a while to figure out that the api has changed. The examples used here are for an older version.

https://github.com/sindresorhus/gulp-ruby-sass/tree/rw/1.0#usage

gulp.src() is now deprecated in 1.0. Use sass().

Can anyone help me to modify this into Gulp Version 4?, or at least just point me to the right direction
