Gulp + live reload serves up my content on localhost and (here\'s what I\'m after) launches the browser automatically at the server url whenever i run the gulp
Emelet answer is not false at all, however it won't work in Windows. I do this with:
"scripts": { "start": "start http://localhost:8000/ & webpack-dev-server" }
100% working and you don't have to install any module or plugin.
