Sass Generator

This TextMate bundle allows you to easily generate CSS files from a folder of Sass files.

There are four commands included:

• Generate Packed CSS (cmd-r)
• Generate Packed CSS and refresh Firefox (cmd-shift-r)
• Generate CSS (cmd-opt-r)
• Generate CSS and refresh Firefox (cmd-opt-shift-r)

NEW: The 'packed' versions of the commands use Rainpress to minify/optimize the CSS.

Installation

In the terminal, navigate to your Bundles folder:

cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Bundles/

Then, git it:

git clone git://github.com/postpostmodern/sass-generator-tmbundle.git "Sass Generator.tmbundle"

Finally, if TextMate is already running, reload your bundles:

osascript -e 'tell app "TextMate" to reload bundles'

How It Works

When editing a Sass file, hitting cmd-r will cause TextMate to walk up the directory tree until it finds the sass/ directory. It will convert each file in the sass/ dir to CSS and place the resulting .css files in the parent directory of the sass/ dir (usually css/). It will not drill down into the subdirs of sass/. Those subdirs (e.g. site/ and standard/) should contain files that are included in the main Sass files (all.sass, print.sass, etc.).
