This repository delivers a full configured, bare metal TYPO3 distribution based on my best practices.

The goal of this package is to give an example of how a TYPO3 project could be configured and structured for real world scenarios. It is updated on a regular basis to reflect the current development of TYPO3 CMS. It's used by me as an advanced TYPO3 boilerplate for real world TYPO3 projects.

ext:theme of this TYPO3 distribution doesn't work alone! It's absolutely not intended for standalone usage!!!

This TYPO3 distribution is an advanced, professional TYPO3 distribution which requires an all-encompassing TYPO3 know-how.
