Bootstrap is the worldβs most popular **open-source CSS framework** for building responsive, mobile-first websites quickly and efficiently. It includes ready-to-use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript components for layout, typography, buttons, navigation, and more.
π Fun Fact: Bootstrap was originally developed by Twitter engineers and is now maintained by a global open-source community.
You can start using Bootstrap in two main ways:
<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.0/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
npm install bootstrap
Bootstrap uses a 12-column flexible grid system. You can easily create responsive layouts like this:
<div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-6">Column 1</div> <div class="col-md-6">Column 2</div> </div> </div>

.btn .btn-primary
, .btn-danger
, etc..alert
classes.<button class="btn btn-success">Click Me</button>

col-sm-*

, .mt-4
