sass: Convert a SCSS or Sass file to CSS and save the result to a file.
$ sass ${select} ${outputfile-css}
try on your machine

The command "sass ${select} ${outputfile-css}" is using the "sass" compiler to convert SCSS (Sassy CSS) files to regular CSS files. The command includes two variables:

  1. ${select}: This variable represents the input file or files that need to be compiled. It can be a specific file name or a wildcard pattern to select multiple files. For example, it could be a single file like "styles.scss" or a pattern like "*.scss" to select all SCSS files in a directory.

  2. ${outputfile-css}: This variable specifies the name of the output CSS file that will be generated after the compilation. It can be a specific file name with the ".css" extension, or even a destination directory with the file name included. For example, it could be "styles.css" or "dist/styles.css".

To use this command, you would replace the variables "${select}" and "${outputfile-css}" with the actual file name(s) and output file name you want to use. The compiler will take the SCSS input file(s), process them, and produce the CSS output file with the specified name.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
