Where did Zac figure out the class for the video Creating Bootstrap Navigation for Wordpress? The video doesn't explain where it comes from inside the header.php.

<?php
            $args = array(
              'menu'        => 'header-menu',
              'menu_class'  => 'nav navbar-nav',
              'container'   => 'false'
            );
            wp_nav_menu( $args );
          ?>

That's part of the Bootstrap markup. If you look at their docs here: http://getbootstrap.com/components/#navbar for the navbar, you'll see you have to use the nav navbar-nav classes on the unordered list that is the navigation.

To go even further it's located inside of the toggle nav for the responsive design when the screen becomes smaller. If you inspect the element and go into the toggle nav further you will find it.
