Hello.  
I’m new to Jekyll. Went through a tutorial to get a custom theme up and running but I can’t seem to get the SASS files to compile into CSS on the Jekyll build. The main.scss just outputs to main.scss.

I have the frontmatter in and it says its working in the terminal but the \_site folder still has it .scss.

I am probably missing something simple. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

😑 Found the issues there was a hidden space on the main.scss
