Overview

Base itself is a pretty thin CSS framework built on top of Normalize CSS. Include what you need on top of Base such as custom typography, custom grids, components and make it yours.

Installation

If you are creating a new project from scratch, it is recommended that you use the base starter.

git clone https://github.com/getbase/starter.git --depth=1 \
new-website && cd new-website && rm -rf .git && \
npm install && npm start

For existing projects, simply install base using NPM.

npm install --save @getbase/base

Once you have Base installed, you can choose what to import and include your own custom styles.
