Bootstrap v3.0.0

Bootstrap is a sleek, intuitive, and powerful front-end framework for faster and easier web development, created and maintained by Mark Otto and Jacob Thornton.

To get started, checkout http://getbootstrap.com!

Quick start

Three quick start options are available:

• Download the latest release.
• Clone the repo: git clone git://github.com/twitter/bootstrap.git.
• Install with Twitter's Bower: bower install bootstrap.

Versioning

For transparency and insight into our release cycle, and for striving to maintain backward compatibility, Bootstrap will be maintained under the Semantic Versioning guidelines as much as possible.

Releases will be numbered with the following format:

<major>.<minor>.<patch>

And constructed with the following guidelines:

• Breaking backward compatibility bumps the major (and resets the minor and patch)
• New additions without breaking backward compatibility bumps the minor (and resets the patch)
• Bug fixes and misc changes bumps the patch

For more information on SemVer, please visit http://semver.org/.

We have included a makefile with convenience methods for working with the Bootstrap library.

• dependencies Our makefile depends on you having recess, connect, uglify.js, and jshint installed. To install, just run the following command in npm:

$ npm install recess connect uglify-js jshint -g

• build - make Runs the recess compiler to rebuild the /less files and compiles the docs pages. Requires recess and uglify-js.

• test - make test Runs jshint and qunit tests headlessly in phantomjs (used for ci). Depends on having phantomjs installed.

• watch - make watch This is a convenience method for watching just Less files and automatically building them whenever you save. Requires the Watchr gem.
