The purpose of this boilerplate is to get you setup quickly on your projects using boostrap-sass and a modified version of HTML5 boilerplate.
We are using submodules to pull in bootstrap to the project which can be found in the /bootstrap folder.
To update bootstrap to the latest version at any time; make sure you are in the root directory and run the following command in terminal git submodules update.
To make changes to the default bootstrap values, you will find a _variables.scss file inside /assets/scss which you can change the values in. A complete list of the variable names can be found here http://getbootstrap.com/customize/#less-variables. Remember that these variable names are using the @ symbol used in Less, so you will need to change this to $ for use with Sass.
Inside the main.scss file you will see a comment for where you can include your own imports. Make sure these go after the bootstrap import or these will not override any of the bootstrap styling.
To install this boilerplate for your own use; in terminal make sure you are in the ~/Sites directory.
Run git clone https://github.com/ywbc-chch/bootstrap-boilerplate.git YourProjectName
Make sure to change YourProjectName to something meaningful.
After the project has cloned successfully then run the following to pull in the bootstrap module.
cd YourProjectName && git submodule update --init
This will move you into your new project directory and initialize the bootstrap module and pull in the changes.
We now need to change the current git configuration; so once we are in our project directory run the following command.
git remote rm origin
This will remove the old remote branch and prevent you from pushing changes back to the boilerplate project.
From here you set the remote of your project you've setup on Github using git remote add origin <url>.
Once this new remote has been set you can git add . to add all the files git commit -m "your message" and then finally git push -u origin master to push your changes to your project repository. (These instructions can also be followed on GitHub when you create a new repository).
