BLT Hands On Tutorial

Allow about one hour to follow this tutorial and become familiar with BLT. To save time, create the Acquia Cloud Free environment before you start the tutorial.

This tutorial assumes you are on a Mac, but I also wrote a quick start for Drupal and BLT on Windows 10.

Contents

• Before you begin:
  • Create the Acquia free sandbox
• Create the Github repo

      '#title' => t('See you'),
