What files do I need to edit to build a blog using roots?

I have been building a website using roots, and have built using Wordpress previously.

I was just wondering what files from the roots theme do I need to edit to create a simple blog.

With usual wordpress this would consist of;

  1. index.php
  2. archive.php
  3. single.php
  4. sidebar.php
  5. searchform.php

If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be greatful.

Hey @RyanHipkiss

I usually start by creating a custom base.php and load it as default.

Then it depends on how the blog is gonna be like. I use front-page.php and category.php if needed.
