Thank you!

Very helpful and I grateful. Just wondered why you used the dollar signs?

@bclincy the $ is calling a package called gulp-load-plugins.

Essentially, think of the $ as shorthand for require('gulp-.

So instead of
require('gulp-jshint('.jshintrc'))
You can write
$.jshint('.jshintrc')

You can see the $ is a variable, defined on line 9 of the gist.
