Single vs double quotes.

Can you clear up for me when you decide to use double quotes vs. single quotes as you seem to use both in the gulpfile.js file? Thanks.

In Javascript you can use both.

However JSLint, the main Javascript Linter, recommends using single quotes by default.

Thanks Brian I had actually noticed that as I'm using JSHint in Sublime Text. I was just wondering why the teacher is mixing using both in the gulp file, surely he must have a reason for this?
