Guide to Embedding an External CSS Stylesheet

Original Query

All my HTML pages contain two links to external style sheets. As a result, I am looking to consolidate them into one external style sheet.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Html Demo</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyles.css">
<link rel="stylesheet"  href="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.7.2/css/all.css" (etc)
...

The current setup runs smoothly. Index.Html displays some attractive icons:

<p>
  <i class="fas fa-fish"></i>
  <i class="fas fa-frog"></i>
  <i class="fas fa-user-ninja vanished"></i>
  <i class="fab fa-facebook"></i>
</p>

However, including the font-awesome link in all my HTML pages is a necessity.
I am considering moving the font awesome reference to MyStyles.css. What would be the correct syntax for this?

Incorrect MyStyles.Css Attempt:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.7.2/css/all.css"  (etc)

body {background-color: lightblue;}
h1 {color: yellow; margin-left: 20px;}
... (etc)

What would be the accurate syntax for this operation?

Supplement

This inquiry appears to be answered elsewhere. The answer suggests the following approach:

@import url("base.css");

I appreciate how straightforward the response is. All that is required is relocating the original link to the CSS file.

The initial (working) text in index.html was as follows:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.7.2/css/all.css" integrity="sha384-fnmOCqbTlWIlj8LyTjo7mOUStjsKC4pOpQbqyi7RrhN7udi9RwhKkMHpvLbHG9Sr" crossorigin="anonymous">

Note: there are additional parameters after the reference to the imported CSS file!

Various attempts within `mystyles.css`, similar to the referenced question, unfortunately did not yield the desired results:

(1) Solely importing the css file. Where should the extra parameters be placed?

@import url("https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.7.2/css/all.css");

(2) Including everything within the url statement:

@import url("https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.7.2/css/all.css" integrity="sha384-fnmOCqbTlWIlj8LyTjo7mOUStjsKC4pOpQbqyi7RrhN7udi9RwhKkMHpvLbHG9Sr" crossorigin="anonymous")

(3) Adding the parameters after the closing bracket:

@import url ("https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.7.2/css/all.css") integrity="sha384-fnmOCqbTlWIlj8LyTjo7mOUStjsKC4pOpQbqyi7RrhN7udi9RwhKkMHpvLbHG9Sr" crossorigin="anonymous"

(4) Whereas the original import statement suggested using double quotes, one alternative proposed the employment of single quotes:

@import url ('https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.7.2/css/all.css') integrity="sha384-fnmOCqbTlWIlj8LyTjo7mOUStjsKC4pOpQbqyi7RrhN7udi9RwhKkMHpvLbHG9Sr" crossorigin="anonymous"

(5) According to W3Schools, brackets need not be used whatsoever:

@import url "https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.7.2/css/all.css" integrity="sha384-fnmOCqbTlWIlj8LyTjo7mOUStjsKC4pOpQbqyi7RrhN7udi9RwhKkMHpvLbHG9Sr" crossorigin="anonymous"

Therefore, can anyone provide insight on the right syntax to use?
