What is Bourbon?
Bourbon is a Sass mixin library that simplifies the creation of stylesheets. It provides a collection of Sass functions and mixins to aid developers in writing concise and maintainable CSS. Bourbon focuses on improving efficiency and productivity by abstracting common CSS patterns and techniques into reusable modular components. Developers can leverage Bourbon's toolset to write DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) code and reduce the amount of manual vendor prefixing required
