Description: 

The generate-theme command will now look for a theme_name.starterkit.yml file within the theme's root. If the file exists, it will assume the theme is cloneable (this replaces the starterkit: true within the theme’s info.yml file).

The theme generator command will loop through all files and filenames and do a string replace of the machine_name of the starterkit theme with the machine_name of the new theme. You can change the behavior of this with the contents of the new theme_name.starterkit.yml, in which you can declare the following:

  • ignore - Files to ignore (not copy over). Paths can be wildcards (e.g. *.yml) or globs (e.g. **/*.js). Entire directories can also be ignored (e.g. tests/**)
  • no_edit - Files where the contents will not be edited. Paths can be wildcards (e.g. *.yml) or globs (e.g. **/*.js)
  • no_rename - Files that will not have their filename renamed. Paths can be wildcards (e.g. *.yml) or globs (e.g. **/*.js)
  • info - Additional properties that will be placed in the new theme’s info.yml file. Existing properties can be removed by giving them a null value.

See starterkit_theme.starterkit.yml for an example.
