If you don't use [Bedrock](https://github.com/roots/bedrock), you'll need to add the following to your `wp-config.php` on your development installation: ``` define('WP_ENV', 'development'); ``` Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) Edit `lib/config.php` to enable or disable theme features Edit `lib/init.php` to setup navigation menus, post thumbnail sizes, post formats, and sidebars. Theme development ----------------- [](#theme-development) Sage uses [gulp](http://gulpjs.com/) as its build system and [Bower](http://bower.io/) to manage front-end packages. ### Install gulp and Bower [](#install-gulp-and-bower) Building the theme requires [node.js](http://nodejs.org/download/). We recommend you update to the latest version of npm: `npm install -g npm@latest`. From the command line: 1. Install [gulp](http://gulpjs.com) and [Bower](http://bower.io/) globally with `npm install -g gulp bower` 2. Navigate to the theme directory, then run `npm install` 3. Run `bower install` You now have all the necessary dependencies to run the build process. ### Available gulp commands [](#available-gulp-commands) - `gulp` — Compile and optimize the files in your assets directory - `gulp watch` — Compile assets when file changes are made - `gulp --production` — Compile assets for production (no source maps). ### Using BrowserSync [](#using-browsersync) To use BrowserSync during `gulp watch` you need to update `devUrl` at the bottom of `assets/manifest.json` to reflect your local development hostname. For example, if your local development URL is `http://project-name.dev` you would update the file to read: ``` ... "config": { "devUrl": "http://project-name.dev" } ... ``` If your local development URL looks like `http://localhost:8888/project-name/` you would update the file to read: ``` ... "config": { "devUrl": "http://localhost:8888/project-name/" } ... ``` Documentation ------------- [](#documentation) Sage documentation is available at .
