This assumes your project is structured roughly like this:

├── Gulpfile.js
├── craft
├── public
│   └── assets
│       └── css
│           └── app.css
│       └── js
│           └── app.js
└── src
     ├── coffee
     │   └── app.coffee
     └── sass
         └── app.sass

Untracked, compiled files are output into public/assets folder.
