Playbook

Playbook is a Yeoman generator for prototyping and building experiences. Jekyll is included for static site generation. Bourbon, Neat & Bitters are included to help you write CSS faster.

Gulp is used for compilation of Sass and CoffeeScript (optional). Bower is used for managing dependencies.

If you already have Playbook installed, please update before generating new projects to get the latest updates.
