Developing js while using elixir

Question

I am developing the js of a laravel-5, AngularJS app right now. I am using elixir to version the css and js files. However while I am developing I don't want to have to have to version my files everytime I want to test something.

What is the best way to use elixir while you are still in active development?

I know you can use gulp watch but won't that create a new compiled version of the code everytime I save? Those files could add up fast.

After having developed with gulp for a few weeks now, gulp watch is really good at quickly recognizing the change and firing a rebuild on the file. Plus, it does delete the previous file.

So, Elixir keeps only 1 compiled version of each file. And it builds them quickly so gulp watch is a good solution.

Personally I think it is a very bad idea to version these files. For one they are always being deleted and recompiled. Lastly it is generated code that can (and should) be generated in production.
