+# Source
+
+The default theme for [Ghost](http://github.com/tryghost/ghost/). This is the latest development version of Source! If you're just looking to download the latest release, head over to the [releases](https://github.com/TryGhost/Source/releases) page.
+
+ 
+
+# First time using a Ghost theme?
+
+Ghost uses a simple templating language called [Handlebars](http://handlebarsjs.com/) for its themes.
+
+This theme has lots of code comments to help explain what's going on just by reading the code. Once you feel comfortable with how everything works, we also have full [theme API documentation](https://ghost.org/docs/themes/) which explains every possible Handlebars helper and template.
+
+**The main files are:**
+
+- `default.hbs` - The parent template file, which includes your global header/footer
+- `home.hbs` - The homepage
+- `index.hbs` - The main template to generate a list of posts
+- `post.hbs` - The template used to render individual posts
+- `page.hbs` - Used for individual pages
+- `tag.hbs` - Used for tag archives, eg. "all posts tagged with `news`"
+- `author.hbs` - Used for author archives, eg. "all posts written by Jamie"
+
+One neat trick is that you can also create custom one-off templates by adding the slug of a page to a template file. For example:
+
+- `page-about.hbs` - Custom template for an `/about/` page
+- `tag-news.hbs` - Custom template for `/tag/news/` archive
+- `author-ali.hbs` - Custom template for `/author/ali/` archive
+
+
+# Development
+
+Source styles are compiled using Gulp/PostCSS to polyfill future CSS spec. You'll need [Node](https://nodejs.org/), [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/) and [Gulp](https://gulpjs.com) installed globally. After that, from the theme's root directory:
+
+```bash
+# install dependencies
+yarn install
+
+# run development server
+yarn dev
+```
+
+Now you can edit `/assets/css/` files, which will be compiled to `/assets/built/` automatically.
+
+The `zip` Gulp task packages the theme files into `dist/<theme-name>.zip`, which you can then upload to your site.
+
+```bash
+# create .zip file
+yarn zip
+```
+
+# PostCSS Features Used
+
+- Autoprefixer - Don't worry about writing browser prefixes of any kind, it's all done automatically with support for the latest 2 major versions of every browser.
+
+
+# SVG Icons
+
+Source uses inline SVG icons, included via Handlebars partials. You can find all icons inside `/partials/icons`. To use an icon just include the name of the relevant file, eg. To include the SVG icon in `/partials/icons/rss.hbs` - use `{{> "icons/rss"}}`.
+
+You can add your own SVG icons in the same manner.
