So, is this not possible? It seems like such a simple thing!

I managed a JS file via a very similar method. I’m running gulp but not browser-sync. I’ve run gulp manually and using gulp-watch. bitc-custom.js does not appear when gulp processes files.

For information, here are the threads that I’ve already looked at:

> Hi, I am building my first website with Sage, in fact, I am moving static files to it. I have a problem to add more CSS files, just cant get it to work. I am adding this to manifest,json "static.css": { "files": ["styles/static.css"] } Maybe this is not best practice, but there is a ton of CSS files that are used and I want to save a lot of work by reusing them. I cant find what I am missing here. Any help would be appreciated
