The SCSS is in dev/scss and the basic styles are in dev/scss/pages/template, the rest of theme is separated in folders, also inside of dev/scss/pages.
Each page(or kind of) has his own folder inside of dev/scss/pages and then are component-separated. So if you want to change page' styles, you know where find the files.
The
partials
folder has partials files like _base.scss and _colors.scss.
