💅 GOLF(2gg) — the manual page bestie, in Development

okay so. hi. you're here because unused-var is calling your name and honestly? it's giving lifesaver. this is GOLF(2gg), bestie, and we're about to get you so comfy. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

unused-var — it's a language thing 💖

🎯 PURPOSE 🎯

Stop the compiler from throwing a whole tantrum when a variable just... isn't used. no cap.

🦋 SYNTAX 🦋

unused-var <variable name> [ , ... ]

look at that. clean. iconic. ✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so unused-var keeps things from erroring out when <variable name> goes unused. and yeah — you can pass a whole list of variable names, just separate them with a comma. 💅

now, generally speaking? you do not want unused variables. they're lowkey a red flag, fr fr — they usually mean there's a bug hiding in there, or just messy clutter vibes. 🙈

BUT. sometimes you need them. maybe it's a lil reminder for a future enhancement you're planning (main character foresight ✨), or maybe it's just straight up unavoidable for some other reason. whatever the case, unused-var is right there to shield those instances from causing errors. obsessed. 🫶

💜 EXAMPLES 💜

in this one, the variable hw gets created and initialized. right now it's just sitting there unused — but if you ever do use it later and you wanna keep it around, hit it with unused-var so the compiler stays chill:

set-string hw = "Hello world"
unused-var hw

slay. 🎀
