How can I automate CSS and JS minification in my project?

You can use build tools like Gulp, Webpack, or Grunt to automate the minification process. Would you like a specific example?

Yes, can you show me how to do it with Gulp?

Sure! First, install Gulp and the necessary plugins: gulp-uglify for JS and gulp-clean-css for CSS. Then, create a Gulpfile.js with tasks for minification.

What does the Gulpfile.js look like?

Here's a simple example:

const gulp = require('gulp');
const uglify = require('gulp-uglify');
const cleanCSS = require('gulp-clean-css');

gulp.task('minify-js', () => {
    return gulp.src('src/js/*.js')
        .pipe(uglify())
        .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/js'));
});

gulp.task('minify-css', () => {
    return gulp.src('src/css/*.css')
        .pipe(cleanCSS())
        .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/css'));
});

gulp.task('default', gulp.parallel('minify-js', 'minify-css'));

This will minify your JS and CSS files when you run gulp.
