Stop Web Essentials 2013 automatically adds the compiled CSS file to the project

I am using Web Essentials in Visual Studio to compile SASS files locally on save. However, I don't want the generated CSS files to be tied to the original control. I have a Grunt task to compile SASS when deploying a project.

My problem is that I cannot find a way to stop Web Essentials from adding CSS files to the project.

  • I tried to exclude them from the project, but they are added to save again.
  • I tried adding files to gitignore

    but seems to override this and still commit it.

I have looked at this SO question and this GitHub issue

How do people work on this problem? I would like to keep compiling with preservation, but not commit the original control.

you can disable SASS compilation in Essentials and use Task Runner Explorer with grunt and 'watch' task to compile them semi-manually (grunt will compile css to save sass files), after which you can exclude CSS files from project
