Gulp did not invent streams they are part of node but it standardizes them for build systems in a way that code from different authors can work togehter without knowing about each other.
Gulp vinyl stream.
Vinyl adapters can expose extra methods that might be specific to their input output medium such as the symlink method vinyl fs provides.
When creating your own vinyl objects instead of generating with src use the external vinyl module as.
Each return a stream.
Streams in node js work a lot like streams work on youtube.
There are the gulp browserify and gulpify plugins which you can use in combination with gulp to get browserify working in your build.

Vinyl source stream use conventional text streams at the start of your gulp or vinyl pipelines making for nicer interoperability with the existing npm stream ecosystem.
The src stream produces vinyl objects and the dest stream consumes vinyl objects.
Vinyl source stream use conventional text streams at the start of your gulp or vinyl pipelines making for nicer interoperability with the existing npm stream ecosystem.
Boms byte order marks have no purpose in utf 8 and will be removed from utf 8 files read by src unless disabled using the removebom option.
Take for example browserify.
A vinyl adapter simply exposes a src globs and a dest folder method.

The src stream produces vinyl objects and the dest stream consumes vinyl objects.
A virtual file format.
When a file is read by src a vinyl object is generated to represent the file including the path contents and other metadata.
A vinyl adapter simply exposes a src globs and a dest folder method.
There are the gulp browserify and gulpify plugins which you can use in combination with gulp to get browserify working in your build.
Vinyl objects can have transformations applied using plugins they may also be persisted to the file system using dest.
For anyone that found this repo this is the correct way to use react browserify gulp other approaches do silly things having a browserify transform with vinyl source stream is the way to go.
Src creates a stream for reading vinyl objects from the file system.
