A Document Set groups multiple related files (with shared metadata, a shared welcome page, and versioning that treats them as one unit) instead of a loose folder where nothing ties the files together conceptually.

Gulp is a JavaScript task runner that automates the repetitive parts of a front-end build (minification, compilation, linting, browser reload) using plain JavaScript instead of a config file.
