Boilerplate for creating a new theme for your Sitecore site.

For this version of the theme we recommend to use [@sxa/cli](https://sitecore.myget.org/feed/sc-npm-packages/package/npm/@sxa/CLI) rather than gulp tasks

Prerequisites

1. Should be installed [@sxa/cli](https://sitecore.myget.org/feed/sc-npm-packages/package/npm/@sxa/CLI) globally.

For using Autosynchronizer, you need to complete next steps:

1. Download the theme boilerplate;
2. Open PathToInstance/Website/App_Config/Include/z.Feature.Overrides (in previous version of Sitecore it can be PathToInstance/Website/App_Config/Include/Feature) folder and remove .disabled from z.SPE.Sync.Enabler.Gulp.config.disabled file;
3. Switch to the downloaded theme boilerplate folder.
4. run sxa init
5. Update the config file for Gulp tasks. ThemeRoot/gulp/config.js file:
   1. serverOptions.server - path to sitecore instance. Example server: 'http://sxa';
6. If you use Creative exchange skip this step. Open ThemeRoot/gulp/serverConfig.json
   1. serverOptions.projectPath - path to project, where the theme is placed. Example projectPath: '/themes';
   2. serverOptions.themePath - path to basic theme folder from the project root. Example themePath: '/Basic2';
7. Open the Theme root folder with the command line.
8. Run npm install (node.js and npm should be installed already );
9. If gulp is not yet installed - use the following command: npm install --global gulp-cli
10. Run the gulp task that you need:
    Global tasks:
    1. gulp default or just gulp - starts gulp watchAll;
