If you want to keep it simple, head over to https://underscores.me and generate your _s
based theme from there. You just input the name of the theme you want to create, click the "Generate" button, and you get your ready-to-awesomize starter theme.
If you want to set things up manually, download _s
from GitHub. The first thing you want to do is copy the _s
directory and change the name to something else (like, say, megatherium-is-awesome
), and then you'll need to do a five-step find and replace on the name in all the templates.
