The idea is to set a few settings in our variables files that define which breakpoints are active and which are not. In our variables file, we can add something like
$use-breakpoint-lg: true !default
$use-breakpoint-md: true !default
$use-breakpoint-sml: true !default
$use-breakpoint-xs: true !default
Then in our grid file, we can can activate our breakpoints accordingly.
