lint-vars.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash
#
# Approach:
# 1. Find variable declaration in the form of "$my-var: anyvalue"
# 2. Loop through found variables and find occurrences of each variable in all sass files
# 3. Filter out vars that occurred only once
#
# Run from command line with `./lint-vars.sh assets/sass/`.
