A Gulp plugin that renames static assets by appending a content hash to their filenames (e.g., unicorn.css → unicorn-d41d8cd98f.css) for cache busting. It also generates a JSON manifest mapping original paths to revisioned paths.

Use cases

• cache-bust static assets in a gulp build pipeline
• append content hashes to css and js filenames
• generate a manifest mapping original asset paths to hashed paths
• enable far-future caching of static assets safely
• version assets on every build in a gulp workflow

When to choose

• you already use Gulp and need cache-busting asset revisioning
• you want a simple content-hash rename plus JSON manifest
• you need stable, feature-complete fingerprinting without extra complexity

When to avoid

• your build uses Webpack, Vite, or another bundler with built-in hashing
• you need active feature development - the project is feature complete
• you don't use Gulp as your task runner
