`-- main.scss # primary Sass file
// Modules and Variables
@import "partials/base";
// Partials
@import "partials/reset";
@import "partials/typography";
@import "partials/buttons";
@import "partials/figures";
@import "partials/grids";
// ...
// Third-party
@import "vendor/colorpicker";
@import "vendor/jquery.ui.core";
As you can see this divides my project into three basic types of files. Modules, partials,
and vendored stylesheets.
The modules directory is reserved for Sass code that doesn't cause Sass to actually output CSS. Things like mixin declarations,
functions, and variables.
