Ask HN: I need to refactor bootstrap, where do i start

[DrFeezy]

I'm a novice front end developer and I'm fairly new to using frameworks like bootstrap. I have a lot unused code that i would like to remove before building this into a wordpress theme. Any clue as to how i can tackle the task of refactoring in a "safe way".

thanks plenty PS: first post on HN :)

To start you can go to:

http://getbootstrap.com/customize

and only select the components you will need. This will provide you with a customized download of Bootstrap.

The only other way is to cut out the individual elements you don't need, but I wouldn't recommend this method as if you ever choose to upgrade or need to modify your theme you will need to go back through and add/remove whatever you need or don't need.

Thanks Jeff, I appreciate it. I'm also looking into flipping my html and css into a workable wordpress theme so im on the hunt of a quick html/css to PHP tutorial.

Oh i should also mention that I have uploaded my code on GitHub on my public repo
