Using Gumby, when I import a new custom scss file into gumby.scss, do I include an underscore?

Question

I noticed that in the gumby.scss file, there is the line:

@import "custom";

... but the filename itself is _custom.scss.

For every file that I create after that, do I include the underscore?

As an example, if I create a file _custom2.scss, would I then use the import

@import "custom2";

or

@import "_custom2":

?

If it assumes that there will be an underscore in the file name, what are the rules for its assumptions? Does it do that with all filenames?

Answer 1

You can use either.

A file that begins with an _ is a partial in Sass.

Basically, if you want it to generate its own css file, don't add the underscore. If you want to import it into another sass file, use the _.
