Hey Chris, thank you for this nice and short template.

Could you please add versions to you Yarn packages, add Bootstrap variables and, if possible, to add Bootstrap Icons?!
See:
https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.5/getting-started/theming/#importing
https://icons.getbootstrap.com/#install
https://rubygems.org/gems/bootstrap-icons-helper

Would be great! Thank you!

Cheers,
Viktor

I forked this as it seems to be missing popperjs/core dependency :)

yarn 'jquery', 'popper.js', '@popperjs/core', 'bootstrap'
