Ok so this is more a general question then an issue with code however I used the compiler on Bootstrap 3 website and changed the point at which the navbar collapses and goes mobile or whatever you want to call it.

This worked fine I re-uploaded the new bootstrap files over the old one (of course any additional changes to CSS are defined in a separate styles.css sheet so that is safe and sound.

My question is I keep reading everywhere that I should have .less files yet my changes work perfectly and I just have css js and font files containing files like bootstrap.css bootstrap.min.css and so on.

Where are these less files I am meant to have? Or is this only in an older version of Bootstrap for example.

If someone can shred some light on this that would be great.

https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/archive/v3.1.1.zip here you finde the less files. Less is a CSS pre-processor, which can handle Variables etc. So Less Files can be compiled to css. So you don't need them if you edit the css directly.
