13,778 PointsProblems With Sass Watch
I have Sass 3.3.8 (Maptastic Maple) running on my Mac but when I write my code in my .scss file it doesn't copy into my .css file. I when I check the Sass I get: sass --watch What files should I watch? Did you mean something like: sass --watch input.sass:output.css sass --watch input-dir:output-dir Use --trace for backtrace. So I am not sure if i have to set the exact file for Sass to watch. Any help is appreciated! Thanks,

cd <directoryofyourproject>;
sass --watch .
Or, you could also directly tell Sass which directory you want, without using cd:
sass --watch <directoryofyourproject>

It should help you understand your way around the console and be able to do everything you need to do to develop in it. Well except git but they have a whole separate class for that.

13,778 PointsHi bunnie, Thanks for the help. Do you recommend starting with console before the Ruby basic course?
