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

Keeping templates in Git finally lets me diff changes sanely.

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

Bootstrap 5 works fine inside MyBB as long as you namespace your overrides.

Curious what everyone else here thinks about it.

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

Great release, installed it on my test board.

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

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

Nice thread, following for the replies.

Responsive postbit is doable with a couple of flex rules.

Try the incremental sync, it only touches changed templates.
