File Organization: ITCSS and 7-1 Pattern
Structure CSS files using the Inverted Triangle or 7-1 pattern for scalable projects.
Why Organize CSS Files?
As projects grow, a single CSS file becomes unmanageable. File organization structures help teams split CSS into logical layers that are loaded in the right order and easy to navigate.
ITCSS: Inverted Triangle CSS
ITCSS organizes CSS into layers ordered by increasing specificity. Like an inverted triangle, the widest (most generic) rules are at the top; the most specific at the bottom. This respects the natural cascade.
