### What is this PR?

Adds a trouble-shooting solution - sprockets wasn't serving an updated css file. Why not? 

After many hours of hair-pulling, I stumbled upon this issue: rails/tailwindcss-rails#119 which saved the day.

It's easy to overlook, and probably warrants a note in the documentation.

Hence this PR. Hopefully, it will save someone a lotta of trouble.

A common issue is that your repository does not contain the output directory used by the build commands. You must have `app/assets/builds` available. Add the directory with a `.gitkeep` file, and you'll ensure it's available in production.

### Why isn't Rails using my updated css files?

Watch out - if you precompile your files locally, those will be served over the dynamically created ones you expect. The solution:

```shell
rails assets:clobber
```

thank you @benkoshy for adding this note! I ran into this problem and my solution was to delete my local repo and re-clone it haha. This is much more elegant.
