Cannot override CSS settings as described in docs

[adammhaile]

Description

Trying to override the default theme with a couple of tweaks, primarily a few colors and the font. I followed the docs and created https://github.com/adammhaile/UselessCalculations/blob/master/assets/stylesheets/main.scss
You can see I added a few color tweaks to that. But nothing shows up when the site is generated.
I admit, I'm new to Jekyll, so I'm probably missing something. But everything I'm seeing in your docs and the jekyll docs seem to just say to copy the desired base file to the same path, and add the tweaks you want. I also tried with main.scss empty other than my tweaks as seems to be implied in your docs. But same issue.

Environment

• Basically Basic version: 1.4.0
• Ruby gem or remote theme version: gem 2.5.2.1
• Jekyll version: 3.8.2
• Git repository URL: https://github.com/adammhaile/UselessCalculations/
• Operating system: Ubuntu 18

Expected behavior

For the colors and fonts to be updated by updating /assets/stylesheets/main.scss

Steps to reproduce the behavior

• Create /assets/stylesheets/main.scss
• Add SASS tweaks
• rebuild

Move the Sass variables before the @import lines and it should work.
