I have been rebuilding my forum theme with a file-based workflow and it is so much nicer than clicking through the ACP.

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.

Would love to hear how you all handle this.

Try the incremental sync, it only touches changed templates.

Responsive postbit is doable with a couple of flex rules.

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

Thanks for sharing, saved me a lot of time.

That has been my experience as well.

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

Nice thread, following for the replies.

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