[BU05] Setting up multiple builds easily using build variants
Using build variables in Sublime Text build systems is a great way to make one build apply to multiple situations, but what if you need builds that are mostly similar but with small tweaks? Do we need to create multiple build files then?
While you COULD create multiple build files, this can be error prone; what if you need to make a slight modification and forget to change a file? Sublime's build system allow us to easily create multiple builds in a single file using variants.
Variants are an easy way to set up multiple builds in the same file, while taking advantage of existing build setup by allowing you to inherit build properties from the parent build.
This video shows how you can easily set up multiple builds using build variants in Sublime.
