As we know generatepress is a tool for creating child themes or customized versions of the generatepress framework: it has been designed to minimize our work when customizing generatepress.
Child themes are used in generatepress because: they help us create new generatepres sites without loosing our customizations; they remove all the theme-specific code from generatepress (helping it to maintain its lightweight nature); and they allow us to inherit generatepresss’s features (like the built-in template hierarchy).

Generatepress’s main goal is not to replace other child themes with its own, but rather to create a solid framework that allows people to have another option when creating child themes.
For this reason generatepress intentionally does not customize some things (like the administration menu) so that people can add new features (like the admin bar by mobble) to generatepress child themes.
When customizing generatepress’s child theme it’s very important: not to change generatepress files without knowing what you are doing; and to use generatepresss options for as many things as possible, instead of modifying its core files (these options are located in generatepress.php).
