Bones for Genesis 2.0

My fork of eddiemachado's Bones for Genesis. Built for Genesis 2.5+ and WordPress 4.7+.

A starting point for new Genesis projects. This is a starter child theme, not a dependency. Clone it. Fork it. Hack it for your own projects. Build cool things on the web.

Issues and pull requests are welcome and will be addressed.

Note: As of v2.2.0, BFG uses Grunt instead of Codekit and Bower instead of Git submodules. Apologies for the extra dependencies, but I believe this is a step toward fewer compile errors and less painful project management.

To Get Started

You'll need Node.js, Grunt, and Bower.

git clone https://github.com/cdukes/bones-for-genesis-2-0.git genesis-bfg
cd genesis-bfg
npm update --save-dev && bower update --save
grunt

All functions are prefixed with bfg. Do a find-and-replace to align the these function names to your project's prefix.'
