Hello. I'm very new to Umbraco and have a quick question I'm hoping someone might be able to help with.
I have Umbraco as a service and am using Git to manage all my css/js. (I am also very new to git). At the moment I'm doing all my template editing within Umbraco and all of my css locally and then committing the changes. I am writing my css in sass, so I cannot write it directly in Umbraco.
At the moment I'm finding development a bit slow as I have to wait for my sass to compile and then commit the outputted css before I can view the changes I've made. Is there any faster way of doing this? Ideally I would like to view my umbraco pages locally so that I don't have to commit every time I make a change I want to see.
Maybe it's late response, but do you have visual studio or IIS.
You can use visual studio for working with UAAS project locally and push changes only when they are ready, pushing you can do with Visual studio plugin for GIT, so it's only one application what you need for coding and pushing.
View umbraco pages locally?

You can use Optimus for working with Sass (and friends) in Umbraco -> https://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/optimus/
Or, you can run your website locally using WebMatrix (if you don't want to use Visual Studio)
Hi guys, thanks for the answers.
I was able to set up my Umbraco site locally using WebMatrix. I'm all up and running!
Great, Nicole.
