Boilerplate for creating an Express app using Boostrap

app="YOUR_APP_NAME"
mkdir $app
cd $app
git init
touch README.MD
echo "$app \n=\nWill add more info soon." >> README.MD 
sudo npm install -g express less uglify-js 
express --css less -e
mkdir vendor
git submodule add git://github.com/twitter/bootstrap.git vendor/bootstrap
git submodule init 
git submodule update
cd vendor/bootstrap
sudo npm i recess connect uglify-js jshint -g
make bootstrap
mkdir ../../public/bootstrap
cd ../../public
ln -s ../vendor/bootstrap/bootstrap ./
mv images img && mv javascripts js && mv stylesheets css

Now, go into your views directory and update the path in your index.ejs file for the css directory. Add your boostrap references to your view as well.
