Hi all,

I have created a custom theme using theme generator. I now want to customise this theme for different sites. "gulp extend" only allos for extending sytled and unstyled. How can I get gulp to extend my custom theme?

thanks

After a fruitless search to find out how to extend a custom theme or if this is even possible I opted to use git branches as a solutions with the master branch changes being sync to the sub themes.

Hi Mark,

before you can use  gulp extend with your custom themes / themelets, you need to run "npm link" within the directory of those themes. Afterwards you can select them from the globally installed npm modules within the extend-command.

Thanks for the reply. Will give it a try with my next set of themes.
