Export from Command Line
------------------------
In production it is useful to automate builds, and Godot supports this
with the ``--export`` and ``--export-debug`` command line parameters.
Exporting from command line still requires an export template to define
the export parameters. A basic invocation of the export would be
``godot --export "Windows Desktop" some_name``
Which, assuming there is a preset called "Windows Desktop" and the
template can be found, will export to ``some_name.exe``. The output
path is relative to the project path or absolute. It does not respect
the directory the command was invoked from.
You can also configure it to export just the .pck or .zip file (allowing
a single export to be used with multiple Godot executables). This
takes place if:
- The export preset is not marked as runnable
- The target name ends with `.pck` or with `.zip`
It is often useful to combine the ``--export`` flag with the ``--path``
flag, and to create a dedicated export template for automated export:
``godot --path path/to/project --export "pck" game_name.pck``
