postcss: Parse and transform a CSS file and output to a specific directory.

postcss

$ postcss ${filename} --dir ${path-to-directory}

try on your machine

The command postcss ${filename} --dir ${path-to-directory} is used to process a CSS file using PostCSS and save the result in a specified directory.

Let's break down the command:

postcss: This is the command to run PostCSS, a tool for transforming CSS with JavaScript plugins.
${filename}: This is a placeholder for the name of the CSS file you want to process. You should replace ${filename} with the actual name of the file (e.g., styles.css).
--dir: This is a flag that tells PostCSS where to save the resulting CSS file(s).
${path-to-directory}: This is a placeholder for the path to the directory where you want the processed CSS file(s) to be saved. You should replace ${path-to-directory} with the actual path, such as /path/to/css-output.

For example, if you have a file called styles.css and you want to run PostCSS on it and save the result in a directory called dist, you would use the following command:

postcss styles.css --dir dist

The command would process styles.css using the configured PostCSS plugins and save the resulting CSS file(s) in the dist directory.
