Issue
Since the creation of the starter theme a lot has happened in PHP, WordPress and Timber. I want to make the starter-theme a more modern starting point for custom theme development.
Solution
This particular PR focusses on deleting the sidebar files. Since Gutenberg is introduced, I rarely see widgets being used in the wild. With widgets getting deprecated, I think it is time to say farewell to the sidebar.
Impact
No more sidebars, so cleaner code.
Usage Changes
Minimal, I think when you create a new site nowaydays, developers are not using the sidebar/widgets functions that much. For the few folks that still stick to it, the can re-add this functionality in a way they see fit.
Considerations
Not dumping the sidebar yet?
Testing
I might try to add some overall tests in the upcoming few PR's
