Built by Themestrap

Themestrap is a simple starter kit for constructing Twitter Bootstrap 3+ themes. It provides the skeleton for a simple, maintainable theme that always uses code directly from Bootstrap with as little replacement as possible.

Themestrap's Philosophy

  1. A theme should be built on top of the framework, with as little intrusive change as possible.
  2. As the framework evolves, a theme should be easily updated to the latest version.

To this end, Themestrap provides you with two simple files to modify: variables.less and theme.less (both in the less directory). You can tweak any and all of the Bootstrap variables in variables.less and support any additional code or classes you'd like in theme.less. The compiled theme CSS includes the Bootstrap library and will automatically pick up any overrides from variables.

Creating a Theme with Themestrap

To create a theme, first start by cloning the Themestrap repository into a directory named for your theme. We recommend a bootstrap-theme-THEME_NAME naming scheme:

git clone https://github.com/divshot/themestrap.git bootstrap-theme-THEME_NAME

Next, you should open bower.json and change the package name from bootstrap-theme-themestrap to match what you want your theme to be named. Now you're ready to install dependencies using Grunt and Bower (you must have these installed).

npm install
bower install

Now you're ready to go! Simply edit less/variables.less and less/theme.less to your liking. When you're ready, just run grunt and it will compile and minify the distribution for you. You can also run grunt watch to automatically compile as you work.
