gulp-theme-less

A LESS plugin for Gulp. Clean LESS files, to make easy themes.

What clean?

Cleans properties, selectors, and mixins with static content. So if a variable is present, content will dynamic.

Make easy themes

Easy and clean. You don't need to worry about all the static content. A theme only needs the properties that need be changed.
