I feel kind of boxed in on this code challenge; Do media queris go on main.css?

Stage 7 Write CSS Media Queries Create a breakpoint for devices 480 pixels wide or larger. Inside the breakpoint, set the body background to the color navy.

I would like to create a new file called responsive.css to do the code challenge media querie, the only file accessable on the challenge is main.css,.

In a real life project creating a responsive.css file would be perfectly acceptable. In the instance of the lessons things are kept pretty controlled to make sure that everyone is understanding the concepts.

If you would like to expand out and experiment more with you own code, I would look into creating a workspace.

I think in the code challenges you can only work with the files they give you, just try creating media quires inside your main.css. This is an interesting idea to add a separate link for your responsive design stuff, idk if it would slow down your page though.
