Brunch

This starter theme is built for developers who want a modern, automated workflow when creating WordPress themes. It combines Brunch for asset compilation, Bower for front-end package management, and Bootstrap Sass for responsive layouts. The theme is based on HTML5 Boilerplate and includes a build script that compiles Sass and Less, checks JavaScript errors, optimizes images, and concatenates and minifies files.

• Brunch build system: Automates compiling, watching, and optimizing assets. Use brunch build for one-time builds, brunch watch for live updates, and brunch build --production for minified output without source maps.
• Bower package management: Manage front-end dependencies like JavaScript libraries and CSS frameworks directly from the command line.
• TGM Plugin Activation: A PHP library included to easily require or recommend plugins for your theme, simplifying dependency management.
• Bootstrap nav walker: A custom WordPress nav walker class that fully implements Bootstrap 3.0+ navigation styles, saving you from writing custom menu markup.
• Organized folder structure: Separates assets (app), logic (inc), and third-party files (vendor) for cleaner project organization. The rest follows standard WordPress theme conventions.

Requirements include PHP 5.3+, Node.js 0.10.25+, Brunch 1.8.2+, and Bower 1.3.12+. The repository is archived and read-only as of April 2019, but the code remains available for use and reference.
