Development
Note that compiled, minified css and js files are included within the repo. Changes to these files should be tracked via git (so that users installing the theme using traditional installation methods will have a working theme out-of-the-box.)
Enabling debug mode in your wp-config.php file is recommended during development to help catch warnings and bugs.
