Description

Add gulp-watch to the project and add an explicit watch command. include a watchPath property in the config which conforms to a gulp-watch glob. If no watchPath property is set it should maybe default to project root with exceptions for common files and directories e.g. node_modules bower_components dist vendor build bower.json package.json or invisible files & directories. Documentation should be clear about this and include some tested glob boilerplate.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the current project structure, add gulp watch dependency, create a watch task using gulp, and implement a watchPath config property with default glob patterns excluding typical non source directories.
