A mixin lets you group CSS declarations that you want to re-use throughout ur site. To create a mixin you can use the '@mixin' directive and give it a name. After creating u can use a mixin by using the '@include' keyword followed by the mixin name. A GLOBAL mixin is the SAME thing but the only difference is u can access the mixin in different style-sheets by importing the file with the mixin and calling the mixin by its name i hope u got it thanks
