I am trying to upload a framework.css file to launchpad with the following command: 

dput ppa:blade19899/framework.css framework.css_2.0_source.changes

but according to this answer source.changes file is a file generated by debuild -S.

My question is: How do I upload a non debian file(a .css file) to launchpad?

You cannot upload individual files such as that to Launchpad PPAs.

You must create a deb source package to upload to a PPA. If all you have is a single CSS file, you probably don't want to package it and manage a PPA. You can instead use the Create a release link on the page for your project, and add it as a download file there.

    You can't push a single file to somewhere that doesn't exist. You must create a branch, add the file to the branch, commit the file, then push the branch to Launchpad. – dobey Apr 09 '13 at 00:54
  • @blade19899 I am looking to upload a single text file without going through the debian/source process. Did you have to create a Project on LaunchPad, or did you end up pushing/uploaded your file (from your computer with say a local instance of a bzr repository) to you personal PPA via the 'junk' URL? – Bernmeister May 31 '22 at 11:07
  • @Bernmeister sorry, I completely forgot about this Q, I don't think I ever finished this. Reading the answer from dobey should help you a bit. – blade19899 Jun 01 '22 at 20:06

You can upload individual files to launchpad if you are using bzr and you run a commit without building a package. @Dobey is mostly right though. It's abnormal to do this for non-Canonical employed humans.
