Tumblr Boilerplate

The Tumblr Boilerplate (unofficial) is a fully automated approach to Tumblr theme development, providing some suggested content tags and scripts so you can concentrate on the style.

Quick start

1. Download the zip archive: https://github.com/joejoinerr/tumblr-boilerplate/archive/master.zip
2. Clone the git repo: git clone https://github.com/joejoinerr/tumblr-boilerplate.git
3. Run gulp build to generate a static version of your theme, or gulp dist to generate the final code to paste into the Tumblr theme editor.
