+#Adding a Gulpfile/package.json#
+##Matthew Ringel##
+##28 October 2015##
+
+Added package.json and gulp file.
+
+The gulpfile contains two tasks:
+
+gulp jshint will run jshint on all code in the /lib and /test folders.
+
+gulp mocha will run the tests in the greet_test.js file.  I chose not to include the the other test file as that only applied to last assignment's bonus point.
+
+For this weeks bonus point, I put the jshint options into a .jshintrc file at the root level that can me transfered between projects.
+
+
+
+
+###27 October 2015###
+greet.js is a module that returns an object with a method called greet which takes one argument, expected as a string.  Calling the method will output 'hello NAME' where NAME is the string passed as an argument.
+
+greetcl.js is the command line utility.  Usage is
+
+```node greetcl.js [name]```
+
+where [name] is a string.
+
+
+The test for the 2nd part bonus isn't working.  The argument parser is set up to throw a TypeError if the given argument is not a string.  I tried to set up a test to test for the error using expect(fn).to.throw(TypeError)
+but it didn't work.
