Removing Built and Test files?

[hanneslsm]

Thanks @Ismail-elkorchi for breathing life back into the project!

I'm not sure about the built and test files like package.json, travis, et cetera.
For me underscores is perfect, because it has much less clutter than other starter themes, so I'd have to delete them first and use my files.

What do you think?

Hello @hannesdev and thank you for the feedback.

Introducing build tools to _s was discussed heavily in #1149.

In short, these tools allow to automate some of the pain points of maintaining this project, like compiling SCSS files to CSS and forcing the project files to follow the WordPress coding standards.

I'm pretty sure issues likes #615, #1382, #932, #1168 and many others were the result of lacking these tools.

Thanks for the answer.
So, you include built tools but also stripped down to it's essentials. Do I get that right?

Yes, that was the idea. To include a simple workflow for automating some basic tasks while keeping the barrier to entry as low as possible.
