Bolt

Sophisticated, lightweight & simple CMS. Homepage: Bolt.cm

Bolt is a tool for Content Management, which strives to be as simple and straightforward as possible. It is quick to set up, easy to configure, uses elegant templates, and above all: It's a joy to use. Bolt is created using modern open source libraries, and is best suited to build sites in HTML5 with modern markup.

From a technical perspective: Bolt is written in PHP, and uses either SQLite, MySQL or PostgreSQL as a database. It's built upon the Silex framework together with a number of Symfony components and other libraries. Bolt is released under the open source MIT-license.

Reporting issues

When you run into an issue, be sure to provide some details on the issue. Please include with your report:

• the (example) input;

This way we can reproduce your issue, turn it into a test and prevent the issue from occurring in future versions.

Unit tests

For running unit tests you need phpunit.

After installing, you can run the unit test suite by running:
