Bootstrap SASS settings in Jekyll - jekyll

I don't understand how I can set the precision required for bootstrap sass through jekyll.
Besides, I can't understand how jekyll automatically loads the files .scss who I placed in everywhere if I only set the _sass dir.
For example in my directory CSS I have a file named style.scss and it automatically generates the right css files in .site/css.
Below the piece of code about SASS settings:
sass:
sass_dir: _sass
style: :nested
Thanks for your help,

Sass precision
Sass precision cannot be set in Jekyll configuration. It can only be set in command line or in a ruby script (plugin)
What is the jekyll sass entry point ?
Jekyll will process any file with a front matter with the appropriate converter. For sass and scss files it will use jekyll-sass-converter.
css/main.scss is processed, it is your entry point.
During this processing, the converter looks for #imported files in the sass_dir path, which by default is _sass. It can be any path in your root folder.
Sass and scss files, once processed, are outputed with a css extension.

Compile multiple Sass files to multiple destinations in VS Code

I am trying to compile Sass files in Visual Studio Code but I have two Sass files and I want them compiled inside two separate css files. I have sass/global.scss and sass/media.scss and I want them to compile into css/global.css and css/media.css
If I set the savePath to /css both files are compiling into media.css
How can I set global.scss to compile to global.css and media.scss compile to media.css
I am using the Live Sass Compiler extension.
Thank you.

Webpack scan html templates for assets and process them

In my project I use Webpack mainly for bundling .js and .css files.
Main question is about images. When images are used in .css files Webpack process them and exports to /dist folder. Which is fine, and works like a charm.
What I want to accomplish is pretty same story but with .html files. But! Html files are in different location then my wepack-app.
-/root
--/design
-----/src
--------/js
--------/css
--------/images
--------/...
-----/dist
--/templates
--/...
Is it possible to e.g pass additional path to scan for assets?
I don't want to produce new html. Just check which assets are used in html files from root/design/src/images then process them (same as from css files) and copy to /dist.
You can add a new entry point (a js file) that will require all the html files that you want to be processed.
You will need to install html-loader in order to allow webpack to "understand" html files.

Referring to built files in html using module bundlers

I'm using the Gulp to build my SCSS, Pug and ES6 assets for my static website. I know it's possible to hash file names and output the files in a different directory.
For my specific example:
my Pug markdown are found in the ~/src/pages directory and getting built to the ~/public/ directory.
My SCSS stylesheets are found in the ~/src/stylesheets directory. These are getting built to the and getting ~/public/style directory
My problem is, when I'm referring to my stylesheets files from Pug, I have to refer to the already-built folder like this:
link(rel='stylesheet', href='./style/example.css')
For my IDE, this doesn't make sense, because the style directory doesn't exist in the ~/src/pages directory.
What I would find the most useful is that I can refer to my stylesheets like the example below:
link(rel='stylesheet', href='../stylesheets/example.scss')
Is there any way this is possible or am I completely going in the wrong direction? If not, where am I looking for?
Solution to make the file name like hash
gulp, for automating our task
gulp-rev, for renaming our files with random hashes.
gulp-rev-collector, for switching non-hashed references by hashed-references inside our files.
rev-del, for deleting non-hashed files in our /dist folder.
Sample code :
gulpfile.js
gulp.task("revision:rename", ["serve"], () =>
gulp.src(["dist/**/*.html",
"dist/**/*.css",
"dist/**/*.js",
"dist/**/*.{jpg,png,jpeg,gif,svg}"])
.pipe(rev())
.pipe(revdel())
.pipe(gulp.dest("dist"))
.pipe(rev.manifest({ path: "manifest.json" }))
.pipe(gulp.dest("dist"))
);
manifest.json
{
style.css: style-ds9udjvci.css,
main.js: main-dijds9xc9.min.js
}
For creating our revision update in the file like
Rewrite every reference for every key of manifest.json to it’s respective value inside every html/json/css/js file (i.e: <link href="style.css"> would become <link href="style-ds9udjvci.css">)
gulp.task("revision:updateReferences", ["serve", "revision:rename"], () =>
gulp.src(["dist/manifest.json","dist/**/*.{html,json,css,js}"])
.pipe(collect())
.pipe(gulp.dest("dist"))
);
You can use something like gulp-watch for real-time compiling of your .scss files, then your /style/example.css file will exist and it will be recompiled automatically when you modify example.scss
You may need to move some directories around to get everything to link, but you can use watch to build your Pug files too, so your site will always be up to date.
Basically, you make a change on any file in your project and view the update live.
Gulp cannot automatically change the file paths used inside the htmls. Therefore you will have to use the generated file path for accessing the style files.
Although if you want to have the file path as the folder structure of your scss, then you will have to replace the contents of the pug file after gulp has finished converting it to HTML.
You can convert the html to String and use the .replace method to replace whatever content you want to change and finally parse the string to a HTML document.
Hope this helps!!

How to organize SASS files with Gulp?

I have the following Gulpfile.js: http://pastebin.com/khEF08GC
When generating the "sass" task, the Gulp creates .css files for each of .scss, I would like it to generate one file based only on the file "style.scss" which is where the #import.
But it happens whenever there are changes in any of the directory _sass.
I have used this solution, specifing each .scss final file and editing watch task.

jekyll build hook to create gz versions of each .html file

Does jekyll build provide a hook which I can use to gzip each .html file in the _site directory? I'd like to have a corresponding example.html.gz file to an example.html file.
I would write a wrapper script in case there is no hook. I just want to be sure to make it in the cleanest way possible.
There is no hook in jekyll build.
The only way to generate additional content is to write a generator plugin.
If your goal is to serve the gzipped version of you pages, you must know that github pages already serves gzipped html, css and js.
