HTML5 Boilerplate comes with a very simple
grunt file to get you started with a build
process. It comes with basic watch and concat tasks that can be used to
automatically combine your CSS files into main.css whenever you save them.
To use the grunt tasks (and add your own) download and install Node.js with
npm, then install grunt from the command line - npm install -g grunt.
To manually concatenate the CSS files run grunt concat from the command
line.
To have grunt automatically concatenate your files each time you save them, run
grunt watch from the command line before you start working on the CSS.
