So time for a big make-over! Welcome to SXA Umbrella - Project structure and tooling to optimize front-end team development workflow in any Sitecore SXA project. The Github repository contains a lot of documentation and a getting started guide. Please let me know if it works for you or if you miss features.
Happy SXA front-end coding - the right way!
