Is it possible in SASS to inherit from a class in another file?

Question

The question pretty much says it all.

For instance, if I were using, say, Twitter Bootstrap, could I define classes in my own SASS stylesheet that inherit from Boots

Answer 1

YES! its possible.

If you want all elements to inherit the .btn class from Twitter Bootstrap's Default buttons

In your styles.scss file you would have to first import _bootstrap.scss:

@import "_bootstrap.scss";

Then below the import:

button { @extend .btn; }
