Fairly new to WordPress, not to web development. I’m working on creating my own custom child theme and can’t help but feel like my workflow could be improved… Here’s what I’m doing:
1. Working on a child theme using Create Block Theme plugin. Making edits in the Gutenberg editor, adding blocks in various spots.
2. When I get to a point where I need to make custom styling changes I edit a file in my theme’s assets/css/blocks/*.css files (enqueued via functions.php in my child theme).
3. Refreshing the Gutenberg editor to see the CSS changes take effect. This refresh takes forever to load. I’m using Docker to host my WordPress dev environment.
Anyone see any changes I could make to this workflow to make life easier? Specifically the time to refresh Gutenberg is getting frustrating. Thanks in advance!

I generally use LocalWP to quickly launch a WordPress instance on my computer in order to create block themes, and don’t experience the lag in the editor that you mentioned. Maybe you should give it a shot.
