Force updates to the latest version of your bower dependencies. It does this synchronously to allow for updates to complete before executing dependent gulp tasks.

Adapted from brunocartier's bower-update-all to be used with gulp tasks.

Important note, I wrote this to fit a need I had locally and this module probably could use to be extended. I did not intend to cover numerous use cases.

sudo npm install gulp-bower-update-all --save-dev

var bowerUpdate = require('gulp-bower-update-all');

gulp.task('gulp-bower-update-all', function () {
    return gulp.src('bower.json')
      .pipe(bowerUpdate(true))
      .on('error', function (e) {
         gulpUtil.log(e);
       });
});

After this, the dependencies in the provided bower.json file will be updated to their latest possible version.

isGitOnly        Check only for dependencies that point to a .git location
isSave			 Saves to bower.json file. Default false to always get the latest version.
