How to inject collected scripts and styles into the layout page of an MVC application using gulp?

Question

ASP.NET

There are many articles on the Internet on the topic of building a front-end using Gulp, but nowhere is it described how all this will be injected into the layout page, thanks in advance!
I am also interested in the possibility, depending on the environment parameters (production, debug), to change how the files will be added to the layout (for production - glued and minified, for debug - as is)
ASP.NET MVC 5

I can help with the second question. Because gulp config file executes node.js we can use its functionality. We usually write something like this:

var isDev = !process.env.NODE_ENV || process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development';
//переменная true если перменная окружения не установлена или равна development

in order to run build in windows, you will need to type something like this
and use the gulp-if module in the tasks themselves, something like this

var _if = require('gulp-if');

gulp.task('html', function () {
    return gulp.src(path.src.html)
            .pipe(gulp.dest(path.dist.html))
            .pipe(_if(isDebug,_debug({title:'html'})))
            // будем дебажить только если запустили как дебаг
            .pipe(reload({stream: true}));
});

Depending on the variable, we can minify or dump files as is.
