• Tailwind CSS is used as the utility-first CSS framework
• Apache is used as the web server
• Critical CSS is used site-wide
• FontFaceObserver is used for font loading
• Craft-Scripts are used for db/asset synching
• Craft 3 Multi-Environment is used for the Craft 3 multi-environment setup
• Modernizr is used for fallback solutions (e.g. CSS Grid)

Using burkhardmeyer/craft-starter

This project package works exactly the way Pixel & Tonic's craftcms/craft package works; you create a new project by first creating & installing the project:, _(*3)

composer create-project burkhardmeyer/craft-starter PATH -s RC

Make sure that PATH is the path to your project, including the name you want for the project, e.g.:, _(*4)

composer create-project burkhardmeyer/craft-starter craft3 -s RC

Then cd to your new project directory, and run Craft's setup console command to create your .env environments and optionally install:, _(*5)

cd PATH
./craft setup

Finally, run the nys-setup command to configure Craft-Scripts & Craft 3 Multi-Environment based on your newly created .env settings:, _(*6)

./nys-setup

That's it, enjoy!, _(*7)

If you ever delete the vendor folder or such, just re-run:, _(*8)

./nys-setup

...and it will re-create the symlink to your .env.sh; don't worry, it won't stomp on any changes you've made., _(*9)
