Many of these resources are WordPress-specific as that is my current area of specialization. This list will grow over time. If you've got something to add, send me a link @kevinwhoffman and I'll check it out!

Proper way to use LiveReload with Laravel Elixir

Features

• It works without touching laravel-elixir source files, so it will not break on updates.
• It runs only on watch task, so that when you run other tasks, livereload will not start and hang the console.
• It performs soft-reloads on CSS changes, instead of a full page reload.

Instructions

1. npm install gulp-livereload if you still don't have it.
2. Create an elixir.json file on the root of your project (where your gulpfile.js is located)

-- Remove the history from 
rm -rf .git

-- recreate the repos from the current content only
git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"

-- push to the github remote repos ensuring you overwrite history
git remote add origin git@github.com:<YOUR ACCOUNT>/<YOUR REPOS>.git

Synopsis

At the top of the file there should be a short introduction and/ or overview that explains what the project is. This description should match descriptions added for package managers (Gemspec, package.json, etc.)

Code Example

Show what the library does as concisely as possible, developers should be able to figure out how your project solves their problem by looking at the code example. Make sure the API you are showing off is obvious, and that your code is short and concise.
