Is there a good way to customize the Herman CSS?

[kkellydesign]

Ideally, I'd like to change a few variables, and add some minor CSS overrides so that the Herman theme matches my client's branding guidelines. What I imagine is a config path that points to a SCSS file in my project, where I can change things like $herman-sidebar-color and $herman-base-font-family. Then on compile, my overrides are built in to the theme. Is that possible?

We don't have that feature yet, but we've had several requests for it. I'll add this to our feature backlog for discussion. If you're interested in helping make it happen, I'd be happy to talk about approach.

Sure, I'd be happy to help. In the mean time, the following works, even if it's a bit of a hack:

trackingCode: '<link href="../build/for-styleguide/herman-overrides.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">',

So, I'm just overriding things in my own file and leaving the entire herman project untouched in node_modules
