Build custom themes from a lean, hackable starter.
Underscores is a starter theme designed for developers who want to build custom themes from scratch. It provides a minimal, well-commented codebase that you can modify and extend rather than use as a parent theme. This approach gives you full control over your site's design and functionality without unnecessary bloat.

Two sample layouts in the layouts/ folder provide options for sidebar placement.inc/template-tags.php file keeps your templates clean by preventing code duplication. These tags handle common tasks like displaying post meta and pagination.js/navigation.js turns your menu into a toggled dropdown on small screens, ready for your own CSS styling.inc/custom-header.php shows how to add a custom header feature to your theme.Underscores is licensed under GPLv2 or later and is maintained by the team at Automattic.
