I would love to hear people's experience with using CSS preprocessing (LESS/Sass) on a team. Does everyone use something like CodeKit?

@trey nope, we use straight up ruby gems with bundler + guard. it works just fine

@trey I’ve been freelancing with a small team. We share a Dropbox with shared Codekit settings and run it through Github. Flawless so far.

@averydistracted What about for non-Rails projects?

@trey in EE, for example, we had an "assets" dir, which contains the .rvmrc + gemfile + guardfile

@trey it compiles from assets/source to assets/compiled. devs should just be able to get set up, then cd into the dir and run "guard"

@trey sounded complicated at first, but it's actually a pretty clean, repeatable process. everyone uses it, no one seems to have trouble

@averydistracted Have y'all ever blogged about that? That's incredibly cool.

@averydistracted Is this about right? github.com/trey/guard-is-…

@trey yep! you could move the guard stuff up a dir, or leave it there — we usually use assets as a "portable flat build" folder when in EE

@trey meaning we usually do a flat build in assets, keep the HTML in assets/markup, and then move the assets dir into the project when ready

@averydistracted Do you ever do concatenation, minification, bless?

#14 10:11pm Jun 14th 2012 via Twitter for Mac in reply to averyquery

@trey i concat and minify with Guard, can show you a sample file. (Sass minifies for you) I don't bless, because i've never hit the limit

@trey here's an example of one i'm using — gist.github.com/2932996 — minifies + concats with Juicer.

@trey have you run into situations where you needed to bless?

@averydistracted I haven't personally, but somebody working on one of our sites just recently did.
