The Timber Starter Theme
The "_s" for Timber: a dead-simple theme that you can build from. The primary purpose of this theme is to provide a file structure rather than a framework for markup or styles. Configure your SASS files, scripts, and task runners however you would like!

Then,
- Rename the theme folder to something that makes sense for your website. You could keep the name
timber-starter-themebut the point of a starter theme is to make it your own! - Activate the theme in the WordPress Dashboard under Appearance → Themes.

Just an FYI.tests/... basically don’t worry about (or remove) this unless you know what it is and want to.
