The primary purpose of this theme is to provide a file structure rather than a framework for markup or styles. Configure your SASS files, scripts, and task runners however you would like! Installing the theme -------------------- [](#installing-the-theme) Follow the guide on [how to Install Timber using the Starter Theme](https://timber.github.io/docs/v2/installation/installation/#use-the-starter-theme). Then, 1. Rename the theme folder to something that makes sense for your website. You could keep the name `timber-starter-theme` but the point of a starter theme is to make it your own! 2. Activate the theme in the WordPress Dashboard under **Appearance → Themes**. 3. Do your thing! And read [the docs](https://timber.github.io/docs/). The `StarterSite` class ----------------------- [](#the-startersite-class) In **functions.php**, we call `new StarterSite();`. The `StarterSite` class sits in the **src** folder. You can update this class to add functionality to your theme. This approach is just one example for how you could do it. The **src** folder would be the right place to put your classes that [extend Timber’s functionality](https://timber.github.io/docs/v2/guides/extending-timber/). Small tip: You can make use of Composer’s [autoloading functionality](https://getcomposer.org/doc/04-schema.md#psr-4) to automatically load your PHP classes when they are requested instead of requiring one by one in **functions.php**. What else is there? ------------------- [](#what-else-is-there) - `assets/` is where you can keep your front-end scripts, styles, or images. In other words, your Sass files, JS files, fonts, and SVGs would live here. - `views/` contains all of your Twig templates. These pretty much correspond 1 to 1 with the PHP files that respond to the WordPress template hierarchy. At the end of each PHP template, you’ll notice a `Timber::render()` function whose first parameter is the Twig file where that data (or `$context`) will be used. Just an FYI. - `tests/` ... basically don’t worry about (or remove) this unless you know what it is and want to.
