About Sage

The master branch currently tracks Sage 10 which is in active development. Looking for Sage 9? See releases.

Features

• Harness the power of Laravel and its available packages thanks to Acorn.
• Clean, efficient theme templating utilizing Laravel Blade.
• Easy Browsersync support alongside asset compilation, concatenating, and minification powered by Laravel Mix.
• Out of the box support for Bootstrap 5 and jQuery.
• A clean starting point for theme styles using Sass.

See a working example at roots-example-project.com.
