This theme is based off of the Timber Starter Theme.
The "_s" for Timber: a dead-simple theme that you can build from. The primary purpose of this theme is to provide a file structure rather than a framework for markup or styles. Configure your Sass, scripts, and task runners however you would like!
- Navigate to the theme directory in Terminal and run
composer install. - Then go ahead and run
npm install. - Run
gulpto make sure everything works. If so, you're good to go. Start building.
assets/ is where you can keep your static front-end scripts, styles, or images. In other words, your Sass files, JS files, fonts, and SVGs would live here.
templates/ contains all of your Twig templates. These pretty much correspond 1 to 1 with the PHP files that respond to the WordPress template hierarchy. At the end of each PHP template, you'll notice a Timber::render() function whose first parameter is the Twig file where that data (or $context) will be used. Just an FYI.
bin/ and tests/ ... basically don't worry about (or remove) these unless you know what they are and want to.
