Avenirer's MY Model

Avenirer's MY Model for CodeIgniter

Bourbon, Neat and Bitters

This template uses Bourbon http://http://bourbon.io/, Bitters http://bitters.bourbon.io/ and Neat http://neat.bourbon.io/ as a base for the SASS.

Bourbon, Neat and Bitters are stored in node_modules

SASS files live in /assets/sass
Added some extra variables in /assets/base/_variables.scss for headings.
Added heading size variables to /assets/base/_typography.scss
Commented out resets in /assets/base/_lists.scss

Browser Sync

Browser sync to reload browser after any changes to CSS.

Codeigniter

There is a bare bones Codeigniter installation to handle the backend.

Composer

Composer is set up for extra PHP pagackages

HTML5 Boilerplate

Used as a starter for the html template

Ion Auth

Ben Edmonds' Ion Auth authentication library to keep the bad guys away from sensitive areas.

Gulp.js

Compiles SASS
Adds browser prefixes.
Compresses image files and places them in assets/build/images folder.

Modernizr

The same version that comes with HTML5 Boilerplate. You may want to get a custom build from Modernir.

Normalize
