Decided against including normalize.css as a submodule for just a single file as there's a chance of cloning without getting this file (less so with newer versions of git) and packaging normalize into the correct directory for release is more complicated.
Barebones
Barebones is simple, responsive boilerplate based off the popular Skeleton project by Dave Gamache.
Why Barebones?
Building off of Skeleton's awesomeness:
- Normalize.css added as a submodule to remain current
- Updated to use CSS variables
- Uses CSS Grid instead of 12-column grid system
- Support for @media prefers-color-scheme (aka Dark Mode)
- Pending Release: Uses CSS env() function
- Possible: Add basic Nav boilerplate
Current Status
2019-01-20 - updates currently being made on v3 branch. No releases yet.
Getting started
Barebones can be downloaded via zip file or the repo can be cloned:

- Clone the repo:
https://github.com/acahir/Barebones.git

Browser support
- Chrome latest
- Firefox latest
- Opera latest
- Safari latest
- IE latest
With the inclusion of CSS Grid, support for IE v11 and earlier is not included. Check caniuse for more details. While possible to include partial support for IE with -ms prefixes, it doesn't seem justified at this time.
