And info for each individual task including flags and their descriptions.

    // ...
);
 
gulp.assist('lint', {
  desc: 'Analyzes code for errors and convention violations.',

taskName

Type: String
Default: 'help'

The name of the task that gulp-assist should use as the entry point.

gulp.assist(taskName, options)

Registers a task with gulp-assist.

options

desc

Type: String
Default: null

A description of the task being registered.

flags

Type: Object
Default: null

An object whose keys represent a flag name. gulp-assist automagically prepends a double hypen to each flag name when displaying task details. The value for each key should represent the description of the flag.
