• theme-development
• cache
• localhost

• Where do you view your work? In the web? When you save the code and open your project in web you can clear the cache. This should work and the changes should come up immediately. Try this and when it works you can download "Clear Cache" for Google Chrome and do this with just one click. – mivanov Commented Aug 4, 2020 at 8:09

Try changing the version number on .css and .js files when you change them. That can be a real pain while you are developing so you can use a random number.

    $randomizr = $rand = rand( 1, 99999999999 );// Enqueue scripts and styles

    wp_enqueue_script( 'my-script', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/assets/js/my-script.js', array('jquery'), $randomizr, true );

thanks for the answers. I fixed this issue with wp_super_cache plugin and I also converted my css file to sass. And I clear my browser and time I save my changes (css and js )
