Why not distribute precompiled assets for download? #329

Closed exalted closed 10 years ago

exalted commented 10 years ago

Why don't you guys distribute precompiled assets for Non-Ruby/Rails projects so I could simply download and use bourbon without gem install or anything?

The question is valid also for Bitters and Bourbon Neat.

Thank you.

You can use the download button here on Github: :wink: bourbon

exalted commented 10 years ago

Oh well… Sure. How to locate files generated as if you did bourbon install though?

froschdesign commented 10 years ago

Grab all files from the "dist“ directory and import the library in your Sass file. Example:

my-styles.scss: 

@import 'vendor/bourbon/bourbon';

/* Write your Sass/CSS and use Bourbon */

Thanks!

A bit of follow-up on this: could you guys think about distributing just the CSS in the dist directory as a download available in each release? I'm working with a team who for various reasons don't necessarily have (or need to have) familiarity with Ruby or Git. Being able to point them to a single downloadable zip file would make installation and configuration much easier.

In fact, it would make it so much easier that I'll happily volunteer to be the one to do whatever work you need to make that happen (though it should be pretty trivial).

I've added Bourbon 3.2.0-beta.2 pre-release to the releases page. I didn't know that feature existed.

Thanks for pointing that out. I'll try to keep it up-to-date.

No problem—thank you for making it happen!
