Underscores is a starter theme for developers who want to build custom WordPress themes from scratch. It provides a minimal, well-commented codebase that you can modify and extend without the bloat of a full parent theme.

• Lean HTML5 templates: Includes modern, semantic templates that follow best practices, giving you a solid foundation for your theme's structure.
• Organized starter CSS: The style.css file is structured to help you quickly implement your design, with sample layouts for left and right sidebars in the layouts/ folder.
• Custom template tags: Functions in inc/template-tags.php keep your template files clean by preventing code duplication for common tasks like post navigation and entry meta.
• Responsive navigation: A JavaScript file (js/navigation.js) turns your menu into a toggled dropdown on small screens, ready for your own CSS styling.
• Optional custom header: The inc/custom-header.php file provides a sample implementation you can adapt for your theme's header image or color scheme.

Underscores is licensed under GPLv2 or later. It is not intended to be used as a parent theme; instead, you should fork it and build your own unique theme.
