Compiling a Customized Bootstrap with LESS

Problem 1 - Merging changes

Bootstrap inevitably changes so I need a way to update bootstrap source code.

It looks like the popular options are:

  • modify the source and merge any future changes in
  • add files such as custom-variables.less that override previous values

Problem 2 - Managing codebases

My custom bootstrap will inevitably be linked to a specific site.

I either:

  • branch a local check out of bootstrap and set a compile destination to my site.
  • add bootstrap as a git submodule to each site.
