Gulp-util is now included in the npm gulp install?
ok, so I didn't find my answer in the questions already asked. I recently had to reload my node to enable trying to reload all globally loaded "things" (which I could remember).
Back when I was learning "Gulp" I remember that I need to make a separate install for gulp-util. But when I looked at the node> node_modules folder I can see where gulp-util was already loaded as an extra gulp module. It was also a duplicated and exact version of my separate gulp-util installation.
Thus, gulp (npm install -g gulp) now comes with gulp-util as part of the installation process. So making a separate install of gulp-util is pointless and overkill? Or do I still need to do this?

Yes, you still need it.
The fact that it gulp-util
is a submodule (along with any other) of gulp
means that it gulp
uses it, but does not mean that it does not need to be included.
If you want to get gulp-util
from gulp
, you can do something like this:
var gutil = require('gulp/node_modules/gulp-util')
But I strongly advise you not to.
Anyway, gulp
is a build tool, unnecessary question shouldn't be a concern since you are not shipping it or its raw submodules to the client.
