Copying the style.css.

When I open up the style.css which is in the project download, it does not look anything like the one that's shown on the video. Exactly which style.css do I need to copy?

Thanks. I actually went to Codex, copied their style.css and it worked.

If you are in the first video (https://teamtreehouse.com/library/how-to-make-a-website-with-wordpress/customizing-wordpress-themes/how-to-make-child-themes) then it should match. I just downloaded the project files from that video and the styles.css matches exactly what I see at the 2:46 mark on that video. Are you perhaps looking at the styles.css that comes with the twentythirteen theme?
