Recommended path for npm

yes i install whats necessary so that when i am using command line and have cd'd into root of dev, running:

Code:

gulp task
//where task is the name of my function , works

For the last dev project i used composer; so the relative path from my dev root to bootstrap scss
is :

Code:

vendor/twbs/bootstrap/scss/

and o in mygulpfile.js i quote as the source for scss :

Code:

.src('vendor/twbs/bootstrap/scss/*.scss    ')/

then quote output in gulpfile

Code:

.pipe(gulp.dest('public/css'))

the result is that bootstrap sccs and custom sccss is converted to css and is put where i want it in public at /public/css

---

what i also do is use gitignore so that scss stuff is ignored. when i uploaded to live server i zipped needed directories which were only :
CI4
├── PHPMailer.zip
├── app.zip
├── public.zip

├── vendor.zip
└── writable.zip


I switched to using composer for bootstrap and also for CI4 to make it easier to update. I couldn't find anything pure and straight forward at https://packagist.org/ that i understood for gulp thats why i still use npm for that
