In plain English

This repository is the old home of inuit.css, a CSS framework for building websites. The project has moved and this repository no longer contains the active code. The README is essentially a forwarding notice pointing visitors to the new location at github.com/inuitcss, where a newer version of the framework lives. Based on the description, inuit.css was a styling framework built with Sass (a CSS preprocessor) and organized around two methodology acronyms, BEM and OOCSS, which are approaches to writing CSS in a structured and reusable way. The README here is too sparse to say more about what the framework does or how it works.

Prompt 2
Explain what BEM and OOCSS CSS methodologies are and how they would be applied in a Sass framework like inuit.css, give me a small example of a component written in each style.
Prompt 3
I have a project built on the old inuit.css. What are the likely differences between the old version and the current inuitcss framework, and what should I check when migrating?
