For now Octopress ships with a single theme in the `.themes` directory. When you install the Octopress theme, HTML and Javascripts are copied into `/source` and Sass stylesheets are copied into `/sass` .
You are free to make any changes you like, but I've set up a few patterns to make it easy to customize and keep your site up to date with the latest Octopress releases (see [Updating Octopress ](/docs/updating )).
