Hi, I'm learning gulp. Why is gulp.dest('dist/styles') duplicated in the task?

Hello @brunocassol,
(assuming you mean the 'styles' gulp task)
It is telling to write out the current stream to that destination so in the first part it is compiling the sass and adding autoprefix then writing the result of those two. After that it minifies the css and writes it out again to the destination.

Nice ..handy code just plug it and use.

Does this code work well with gulp V4 ?
