sass: Watch a SCSS or Sass file for changes and output or update the CSS file with same filename.

sass

$ sass --watch ${select}

try on your machine

This command is used to run the Sass compiler in "watch" mode for a specific file or directory.

The sass command is the command line interface (CLI) for Sass, a popular preprocessor for CSS.

The --watch flag is used to tell Sass to continually watch for changes in the specified file or directory. This means that whenever there is a change in the file(s), Sass will automatically recompile the Sass code to CSS.

${select} is a placeholder or variable in this context. You would replace ${select} with the actual file or directory path that you want Sass to watch for changes. For example, if you want Sass to watch a file named styles.scss, you would replace ${select} with styles.scss.

Therefore, when you run the command sass --watch ${select} in the command line, Sass will watch for changes in the specified file or directory and recompile it to CSS whenever changes are detected.
