I am trying to use Jekyll together with Compass.
On one command line I’m running jekyll --auto and in another one compass watch.
The SASS files are located in /stylesheets and are compiled into /_site/stylesheets.
Jekyll is configured to ignore /stylesheets.

Compiling the stylesheets works fine in the beginning, but everytime I change something that makes Jekyll regenerate the site, it overwrites the whole /_site folder and /_site/stylesheets is gone. Compass doesn’t regenerate it since the source SASS files haven’t changed.

Is there another way to use Jekyll together with Compass?
Can I configure Jekyll to not overwrite the complete output folder but just the files that changed?

    Im using Jekyll & Compass for my github page. here: https://github.com/ardianzzz/ardianzzz.github.com

    Simple,
    I just put the generated css folder in the root folder. Jekyll will generate the file inside _site folder.

    As you can see in my repository.

    Just call the CSS with the following code

    <link href = "/css/screen.css" ...

    bad english, sorry. 🙂
