Bourbon
Sass mixin and function library with no output of its own, installed as a RubyGems gem.
Bourbon is a Sass library of mixins and functions, installed from RubyGems as the bourbon gem or from npm, and used from Sass stylesheets. Using it needs a Sass compiler. Its homepage describes it as a lightweight Sass tool set. The repository is written in Ruby because it ships the gem’s command-line wrapper, and the library’s own files are Sass.
Worth knowing
The project is discontinued. The homepage says it is no longer maintained, and the README records its deprecation as of September 2024 and links a thoughtbot blog post on replacing its helpers with native CSS. The repository is archived on GitHub, and no successor project is named.
