uh hello guys welcome to this video so
0:02
in this short little video I will
0:04
actually show you a vs code extension
0:06
which will super power you inside your
0:09
CSS or generally programming it will
0:12
save you a lot of time this vs code
0:15
extension is called as CSS Peak the CSS
0:18
Peak from the name itself it's related
0:20
to CSS and if you basically develop your
0:23
websites using HTML and CSS and you
0:26
define CSS in an external file as you
0:29
can see we have a simple document right
0:32
here it's a login page it has having
0:34
some HTML and it is having some CSS for
0:37
The Styling part you have we have
0:39
written this custom CSS file so now
0:41
let's suppose I can simply hover onto
0:45
this element this form element that you
0:47
see right here it is having this custom
0:49
class that we have defined this login
0:52
class we have defined this inside this
0:54
style. CSS so every time if you if I
0:57
want to change let's suppose any Fe
0:59
features I want to navigate to this file
1:02
every time I need to open this back just
1:06
do this it's a very time consuming
1:08
process you need to every time go to
1:10
this file and then find out this class
1:13
which is defined right here so in a very
1:15
long project it will consume a lot of
1:17
time and it is it is not good for
1:20
productivity so if you want to make any
1:22
sort of change let's suppose if you want
1:24
to change a background color if you make
1:26
this change
1:30
so you make this change you will now see
1:33
the background has been changed so every
1:35
time you want to make any sort of change
1:36
you need to navigate to this file so
1:39
this extension it
1:41
actually just uh solves the problem of
1:47
navigating to this so the EXT extension
1:50
that we are using is CSS Peak so if you
1:54
