Hi,

I started with developing some themes for Ghost and came up with a setup for developing themes relatively easy.  
It is based on the casper theme but it should be good for other themes too.

Maybe this is usefull for someone else. I published it on GitHub [here](https://github.com/kirkone/Ghost.Dev.Themes)

It would be nice to get some feedback on this.

CU,  
KirK

This is nice, thanks for posting! I would give some more detail the Readme as to how to what this is useful for and what it does - both at a high level and specifically what each gulp command will do (for example, will all css files be combined in one?) - just to save reading through the code. Each developer will have a slightly different way of going about developing themes so it would be useful to know how this can be utilised. Looks useful though.

Hi,

I updated the readme and hope the things you mentioned are a little more clear.
