I have decided to try o move away from buying bloated premade themes and build my own from scratch.

I am planning to use JointsWP along with Elementor Pro page builder.
When I install a bough theme, I always install a child theme where I do all my customisation.

My question is this:
Do I need to create a child theme for JointsWP?

Does anyone know if I will get theme update notification the same way I do know with my bough theme?

Thank you
