laravel generates css after npm run dev

Question

I am working on a project and I have a couple of views.

I am using the included bootstrap from laravel but in the resources/sass/_variables.scss I changed some of the default colors.

After that, I ran npm run dev to recompile.

After that I checked public/css and there were css files for every view that I created.

Is it possible that laravel mix generated these files?

Also, is it possible to edit these without laravel mix overriding your changes?

webpack.mix.js

let mix = require('laravel-mix');

/*
 |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 | Mix Asset Management
 |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 |
 | Mix provides a clean, fluent API for defining some Webpack build steps
 | for your Laravel application. By default, we are compiling the Sass
 | file for the application as well as bundling up all the JS files.
 |
 */

mix.react('resources/js/app.js', 'public/js')
   .sass('resources/sass/app.scss', 'public/css');

please add your webpack.mix file

This is exactly what laravel mix is supposed to do. You shouldn't edit the built css files directly. You can find the app.scss file in resources/sass and edit that or if you, for some reason, want to create a css file directly to your public/css directory you can do that too. If you don't use the same file names, mix won't overwrite your files.
