Keeping templates in Git finally lets me diff changes sanely.

A lot of old 1.6-era themes only need template tweaks to render correctly.

Maybe this has been discussed before, but I could not find anything recent.

Would love to hear how you all handle this.

Responsive postbit is doable with a couple of flex rules.

Try the incremental sync, it only touches changed templates.

The on-disk workflow changed how I build themes completely.

I namespace everything under a .mybb wrapper class to avoid collisions.

I disagree slightly, but I can see where you are coming from.

Good point, I had not thought of it that way.
