All those files work perfectly fine when you view the page with a web browser. I see the font I want and if I change the size of the browser the page will resize, everything works exactly how I want. Now opening gitbash or a terminal or bash if I serve the page locally it uses the gem at it’s current state as ruby has installed it. Jekyll doesn’t use my changes from the directory I am in on my HD. When I go to [https://tes5edit.github.io/docs/](https://tes5edit.github.io/docs/) I see the page as it should be, when I go to localhost:4000 I see it with the default style sheets from the caymen theme and nothing from my local files in the \_sass folder is used. How do I serve the site to preview it from my HD so I don’t have to tweak the page over and over and over and push and push and push until I get it how I want it? Also I have read lots of docs. I have not come across the solution. I use Windows 7. Things like bundle exec jekyll serve do not work on windows. There is no bundle file. I get an error that the .bundle dirrectory could not be found. I’m just running jekyll serve from gitbash from the cloned GitHub repo on my hard drive. I can go to localhost:4000 and I see the page just fine, but it just is not using the files I want it to, it is using the gem how it is installed using gem install jekyll-theme-cayman. Also I want to just use the css files from the github repo my site uses and I want jekyll to use the files on the hard drive when I use jekyll serve. I don’t want to make a new theme each and every time I tweak the css files a little bit. ---

where are you editing the css to make the change? what file exactly? I see sass files for `additional_styles.scss` and `adopted-styles.scss` but it looks like only the adopted sass is imported? ---

I apologize I am simply stupid. Well not really, just not thinking or being thorough. I had not pulled in changes from a pull request someone made a few weeks/months ago. I need a big face palm pic.
