How to make a path for gulp file in project's directory in package.json

Question

So I have a directory "node", where I run a lot of different projects, there are 2 directories, one is "examples", that provide some modules, and "projects", where I combine them to smth good. And so, in one of projects I started to use gulp, but, all package.json "scripts" I saw was like test : 'gulp' and etc, and in my case it doses not see my one.
node | +-- examples +-- projects | +-- 1 +-- 2 | +--gulpfile.js node | +-- examples +-- projects | +-- 1 +-- 2 | +--gulpfile.js What I can do, to set up my package.json to see the gulp file inside the "2" directory?

I tried to set up a new package.json inside "2", but it makes node_modules download one more, and that's actually bad, however, it works, so there is no problem with gulp file.

I expect that gulpfile.js inside 2 will be found without new package json.

Simplest way is to specify the gulpfile when you run gulp. Assuming you run from the node directory:

gulp --gulpfile=projects/2/gulpfile.js

Gulp also supports a .gulp.json CLI configuration file where you can specify that command line flag so you don't have to repeat it every time you run it. Check the documentation for more info.
