# gulp-cleancss [![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/mgcrea/gulp-cleancss.png?branch=master)](http://travis-ci.org/#!/mgcrea/gulp-cleancss)

> Gulp task to minify CSS styles with [clean-css](https://github.com/GoalSmashers/clean-css).


## Getting Started
This plugin requires Gulp `^3.0.0`

If you haven't used [Gulp](http://gulpjs.com/) before, be sure to check out the [Getting Started](https://github.com/gulpjs/gulp/blob/master/docs/getting-started.md) guide, as it explains how to create a [Gulpfile](https://github.com/gulpjs/gulp/blob/master/docs/API.md) as well as install and use Gulp plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

```shell
npm install gulp-cleancss --save-dev
```

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be required inside your Gulpfile with this line of JavaScript:

```js
var cleanss = require('gulp-cleancss');
```


## Usage

```javascript
var htmlmin = require('gulp-htmlmin');
var cleanss = require('gulp-cleancss');

gulp.task('styles:dist', function() {
  gulp.src('{,*/}*.css')
    .pipe(cleancss({keepBreaks: false}))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));
});
```


## Options

Options are passed directly to [clean-css](https://github.com/GoalSmashers/clean-css).
