Skeleton Sass is separated into three different flavors

Applications
Command Line

    2. cd path/to/my/project/sass
    3. sass --update sass:css
    4. Note: if you use the Compass version issue the following:
      sass --update --compass sass:css
  4. Link files in the following order inside your source code:
    1. skeleton.css
    2. base.css
    3. layout.css
  5. Add the following to the head section of your HTML document (see code example):
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1">

Code Sample
