Override MVC5 bootstrap

Question

Doing my first MVC 5 app and I want to use the included bootstrap UI stuff, but I have some tweeks I want to do, like background colors, floating the nav bar to the right, etc.

If I remember correctly, the CSS that gets rendered is the one read last, so for example in this list, css3 styles will be the ones rendered (assuming the contents are identical):

css1
css2
css3

So, if I want to override certain parts of the bootstrap.css file, should I just make an override.css and put it last in the bundle? Or is there a better way to do it?

Also, when I am done developing and I switch to the min versions of the css and js libraries, will my overrides still work?

Answer 1

put your css file after the bootstrap css. You already found the answer yourself.
