Some tips:
- Include both the .sass and the .css files in version control. This way everyone has the most current changes.
- If you organize your stylesheets into logical areas, maintenance is a breeze.
- Also: try to use fewer than three main colors, and then use SASS color functions to modify them and store results in variables that you can reuse throughout your design/theme.
Ex:
$chartreuse: #7fff00
$olive: darken($chartreuse, 32%)
That way, you only have to maintain one color. And the rest will be recalculated.
Until recently, there were no in-browser SASS debugging tools.
There is now a Firefox plugin called FireSASS (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firesass-for-firebug/)
In your sass --watch
command, add a -g
for --debug-info
so that it will output the hooks needed for the plugin to run.
