css-purge

  

V3 - We just released our most awesome version yet!

A CSS tool written in Node JS as a command line app or library for the purging, burning, reducing, shortening, compressing, cleaning, trimming and formatting of duplicate, extra, excess or bloated CSS.


Overview

#### Purging CSS

This is the typical usage scenario, where you may want to purge some CSS from a file(s) or folder(s) or CSS from your workflow (like from gulp or grunt).

#### Purging Unused CSS

You want to take it a step further by taking your CSS file(s) and reducing it further based on what is used in your HTML file(s).
