How do I copy directories recursively with gulp?

Question

I am trying to stage a project from a working directory to a server (same machine). Using the following code:

gulp.src([
    \'index.php\',
    \'css/**\',

Turns out that to copy a complete directory structure gulp needs to be provided with a base for your gulp.src() method.

So gulp.src( [ files ], { "base" : "." }) can be used in the structure above to copy all the directories recursively.

If, like me, you may forget this then try:

gulp.copy=function(src,dest){
    return gulp.src(src, {base:"."})
        .pipe(gulp.dest(dest));
};
