Go to https://github.com/new and create a new Repo.

Organize my CSS files how I like

In order to break out the base, components, utitities layers to their own CSS files, I must:

• Create base.css, components.css, utilities.css files inside app/assets/stylesheets

• Inside each, put the layer wrapper, like this:

@layer base {
}

@layer components {
}

@layer utilities {
}

At the very top of application.tailwind.css — above the @tailwind lines — put this:

Note: The @import lines must come before the @tailwind lines.

@import "base";
@import "components";
@import "utilities";

Start Rails Server

./bin/dev

The app should now be viewable at http://127.0.0.1:3000
