Hi,

Indeed, the "gulp watch" command is designed to continuously monitor the source files for any changes and automatically perform the necessary tasks based on those changes. It may appear as if the command is stuck, but it is actually waiting for modifications in the source folder.

Once you have executed the "gulp watch" command, it will keep running in the background, monitoring the specified source files. Whenever you make changes to those files, such as modifying the CSS, JavaScript, or other assets, Gulp will detect the changes and trigger the associated tasks defined in the gulpfile.js.

Therefore, if you want to see the changes reflected in your project, make sure to edit the appropriate files in the source folder that is being monitored by Gulp. Once you save the changes, Gulp will process them accordingly, updating the corresponding output files.

Remember to keep the terminal or command prompt running with the "gulp watch" command so that Gulp can continue monitoring for changes. If you need to stop the watch task, you can do so by pressing Ctrl+C in the terminal.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please let me know, and I'll be happy to assist you!

Thanks
