Underscores (also known as _s) is a starter theme designed for developers who want to build custom themes from scratch. It provides a minimal, well-commented foundation that you can modify directly—it is not meant to be used as a parent theme. Instead, you hack it into your own unique design.

Key features and benefits:

• Lean, modern HTML5 templates – Includes a set of clean, up-to-date template files that follow current web standards, reducing the amount of boilerplate you need to write.
• Helpful 404 template – A ready-to-use 404 page that you can customize, saving you time on error handling.
• Custom template tags – Functions in inc/template-tags.php keep your templates clean and prevent code duplication, making maintenance easier.
• Responsive navigation script – A JavaScript file (js/navigation.js) turns your menu into a toggled dropdown on small screens, ready for your own CSS styling.
• Sample CSS layouts – Two layout options in the layouts/ folder let you place a sidebar on either side of your content, giving you a head start on page structure.

Underscores is licensed under GPLv2 or later and is maintained by a community of contributors. It is ideal for developers who want full control over their theme without starting from an empty file.
