Bitsy is a slim, optimized starter theme based on skel.io and underscores.me.
Bitsy is a simple, optimized starter theme based on underscores, Skel, and Baseline with a cool theme wrapper to keep your code warm and DRY.
Bitsy includes support for Grunt to help you compile and optimize SASS, JS, update your readme.md file, and more.
Either upload the zip file through the WordPress Admin, or use git to clone the theme into you themes directory.
- In your admin panel, go to Appearance > Themes and click the Add New button.
- Click Upload and Choose File, then select the theme's .zip file. Click Install Now.
- Click Activate to use your new theme right away.
Since Bitsy is a starter theme, chances are you're going to continue theme development using Bitsy as a basis.
While you don't have to use it, Bitsy is all set up with Grunt to do the following:
- Compile SASS using Compass
- Test our JS
- Concatenate JS
- Copy your readme.txt to a readme.md file for GitHub or other git hosts.
- Install or update Node and npm.
- Control any command-line fear.
Once Node and npm are installed and you've got the theme in the right place, you'll want to use the command line to cd
into the theme directory and run npm install
, which will pull in all of the required theme automation packages.
To learn and be lean.
Bitsy currently includes support for:
- Infinite Scroll in Jetpack.
- WooCommerce
