Technical Details & Usage:
The theme employs a modern development workflow, utilizing webpack and npm scripts for asset building and optimization. This means that while the theme is powerful, it requires a local build process if you intend to use it directly from a cloned Git branch rather than a pre-built release. The README.md provides clear instructions for setting up the development environment:
# install required packages from package.json
npm install
# run the build script to build required assets
npm run build
# build release tarball
npm run packThis ensures that all necessary assets are compiled and bundled correctly for optimal performance. For detailed setup options, refer to the "Getting Started Guide" in the documentation.
