Quick Start

To get started with Lumberjack on top of Bedrock, just do the following:

  1. Run the following in your terminal:

    git clone --depth=1 git@github.com:roots/bedrock.git bedrock-lumberjack-site && rm -rf bedrock-lumberjack-site/.git && cd bedrock-lumberjack-site && composer require rareloop/lumberjack-core && cd web/app/themes && git clone --depth=1 git@github.com:rareloop/lumberjack.git lumberjack && rm -rf lumberjack/.git && cd ../../..
