This is a child theme created for the Genesis Framework, intended as a starting point for theme developers. Please do not use this directly in production.

##How to use

1. Install nodejs and npm.
2. Run sudo npm install grunt-cli
3. cd to the theme folder, and run npm install. This will install all dependencies for the theme.
4. Make changes and run grunt to compile the changes.

##Few points

1. All the less files are in assets/less. The most important is app.less, in which all other less files are imported. There is an index to see what lies in each file. You can just edit whatever files you want in the partials folder..
2. You can exclude various less files from the partial folder if you don't want them. The standard stylesheet from Genesis is called Genesis.less, so you should exclude it if you plan to write all cs from scratch.
3. All javascript plugins(third-party) will go in assets/js/vendor. You can install via bower if you have that installed. You will have to add these in your Gruntfile.js to be included.
4. DO NOT edit style.css directly, IT WILL BE OVERWRITTEN every time you run grunt.

##Grunt tasks

1. Running grunt will simply convert less to css, minify and compress all css and js, and generate main.min.js, plugins.min.js and style.css.
2. If you want to optimize your images, run grunt imagemin.
3. Running grunt watch will watch the files and will compile as soon as you save the changes.
4. You can set options for deployment in Gruntfile.js and then you can deploy with a single command to your server.
