Air is a development theme, so it has updates very often. By using this starter theme, you agree that the anything can change to a different direction without a warning.
Air is not meant to be "a theme for everyone", so it doesn't have many parts that are generally included (see Disabled features).
If you for some reason happen to use this theme as base, please note the theme won't necessarily be that much fun or won't necessarily look any good. I recommend using Sage if you need something more complete.

- Requires at least: WordPress 4.7.0
- Tested up to WordPress 4.7.0
- Mac OS X
- Devpackages - Npm, Gulp and Bower
- Dudestack - A toolkit for creating a new professional WordPress project with deployments. Heavily based on Bedrock by Roots.
Traditional way:
- Git clone or download zip
- Open Terminal and run
npm install - Open project to Atom (or your preferred editor) and run search and replace air => yourprojectname
- Run
gulp watchand start coding
If you are using Dudestack and Devpackages, your project folder is located at ~/Projects, your vagrant box is up and running at 10.1.2.4, just
- Open Terminal and cd to air directory
- Run
sh newtheme.sh- the script takes care of the rest (updates textdomain with your project name, checks updates for air and npm packages, runs npm install, fetches devpackages, sets up gulp, cleans up the leftover files and activates the theme via wp-cli)
