Use a Git commit message template to write better commit messages

Using Git Commit Message Templates to Write Better Commit Messages

The always enthusiastic and knowledgeable mr. @jasaltvik shared with our team an article on writing (good) Git commit messages: How to Write a Git Commit Message. This excellent article explains why good Git commit messages are important, and explains what constitutes a good commit message. I wholeheartedly agree with what @cbeams writes in his article. (Have you read it yet? If not, go read it now. I'll wait.) It's sensible stuff. So I decided to start following the

Basic Grunt config for working with the Bones Wordpress starter theme

A basic Grunt configuration for working with the Bones Wordpress Starter theme. To be expanded! Compiles and compresses Sass and uses rsync to update the local installation of Wordpress for testing so I can keep my MAMP installation free of extraneous files...and simply FTP over the final result if it checks out without putting uneccessary node_modules or .scss files on the server by mistake. This was pretty much put together because I kept mistakenly FTPing over my .sass-cache files like an idiot.

For this to work, the theme in development lives in 'src' inside the project directory so node_modules, .sass-cache, gruntfile.js, package.json and src are all together in the top-level directory.
