Bow is a starter theme designed for developers who build custom themes from the ground up. It provides a clean, minimal foundation to accelerate development, avoiding the bulk of larger frameworks. The theme is built with modern tooling in mind, making it suitable for developers comfortable with command-line workflows and preprocessors.

• Sass Integration: Uses Sass as its CSS preprocessor, allowing for variables, mixins, and nested rules to write more maintainable and organized stylesheets.
• Gulp Automation: Includes a Gulp configuration file to automate common tasks like compiling Sass, concatenating files, and live reloading the browser during development.
• CodeKit Support: Offers compatibility with CodeKit as an alternative to Gulp for developers who prefer a graphical interface for asset compilation and project management.
• Minimal Structure: Provides only the essential template files and a clean style.css, giving developers full control over the final output without unnecessary bloat.
• Clear Setup Instructions: The repository includes straightforward steps for installing dependencies, configuring the local development server, and beginning work.
