browser-sync: Start a server from local directory, watching all CSS files in a directory.
$ browser-sync start --server --files '${path-to-directory-*-css}'
try on your machine

This command is utilizing the tool "browser-sync" to start a server and monitor changes in CSS files in a specific directory.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • browser-sync start is used to start the browser-sync server.
  • --server option is used to indicate that you want to start a server.
  • --files option is used to specify the files or directories that should be monitored for changes.
  • '${path-to-directory-*-css}' is a placeholder that represents the actual path to the directory containing CSS files. The *-css is a wildcard pattern that matches any file ending with ".css" in that directory.

In summary, this command starts a browser-sync server and monitors changes in CSS files within a specific directory. Anytime a CSS file is modified, the browser-sync will automatically reload the connected browsers to reflect the changes.
