Come one, come all. Download the Static Shell today.

Hey everyone,

I hope all is well. For the past year or so I've been piecing together a static website shell in GitHub. I'm interested to see if anyone would care to use it to jump start their own project.

Currently, the shell is built around Gulp and Sass, utilizing a range of minification tasks. All HTML, CSS (Sass) and JavaScript files are automatically minified on the fly when running the default gulp task. This means that the moment that you make and save a change in say the app.js file, a new minified JavaScript file is saved out. With that said, all JavaScript files are concatenated into one minified file. Same goes for the outputted CSS. The shell also includes a collection of Sass mixins and maps to use.

Note that Headroom.js is installed for the site navigation. By no means is this necessary, so feel free to strip it from the library folder and scripts array.

Check out the GitHub repo here. Feel free to fork, download, make pull-requests, etc. There are some basic installation instructions provided in the README file.
