Cog

Cog is a developer-focused base theme and starterkit created by Acquia's Professional Service Front-end Team. It is intended as a minimalistic baseline for custom theming, while exposing common tools and workflows. Cog provides a small amount of code to get started, but is still packed with utilities to extend.

• Responsive containers built on Susy grid system
• Initial SMACSS file architecture
• Common Twig files and theme dependencies
• Base preprocess functions for class definitions
• Modular gulp tasks for compiling and linting
• Living style guide construction via KSS-node

Let's get started!

The Cog documentation you seek is located here. This documentation will cover installation steps and a theme overview to provide insight into internal methodologies.
