This is my opinionated Wordpress boilerplate that I personally use on all my production websites. There are some things that I will be changing/adding as I see fit.

• Normalize.css
• SCSS Support/Directory structure
• Javascript minification/concatonation/linting
• Image optimization
• Gulp Task runner
• Bower asset management
• Utilities Classes
• Better Javascript Structure
• Nuclear 'micro' Api -> a simple way to run WP_Queries from the front end

• CD into theme directory
• Install Node.js & bundler
• run npm install
• run bundle install
• run gulp

• Starkers (https://github.com/viewportindustries/starkers)
• Bones (https://github.com/eddiemachado/bones)
• Roots (https://github.com/roots/roots)
