Positional Arguments

Argument Description

Optional Arguments

Argument Description
-h, --help Displays help for the build-game command and exits
--log_level=debug Enables generating debug logs during command execution; the logs are saved in C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Temp__gog\logs (Windows) or $TMPDIR/__gog/logs (macOS)
--username USERNAME Username used for authentication to the GOG.com server. If not provided, cached credentials will be used. If there are no cached credentials found, you will be prompted to enter them
--password PASSWORD Password used for authentication to the GOG.com server. If not provided, cached credentials will be used. If there are no cached credentials found, you will be prompted to enter them
--dump_upload_info Saves the manifest of the upload data for debug purposes (default: false)
--version VERSION Overrides the versionName property from the .json file of the project
--output OUTPUT Intermediate path where the repository will be built into. Particularly useful when creating a build locally, using the --offline command; by default, the builds are saved in C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Temp__gog\builds (Windows) or $TMPDIR/__gog/builds (macOS)
--offline Do not upload the repository to servers, only build the game project (default: false)
--silent Performs extraction without issuing prompts, except for credentials, unless they’re cached. If you have one or more repositories already downloaded in the output path, they will not be removed. Two or more repositories can be downloaded to the same output path. By default, this is disabled (false)
--branch BRANCH_NAME Selects a branch for publishing the build. If a branch is password protected, don’t forget to include --branch_password argument
--branch_password BRANCH_PASSWORD Required when you are publishing to a password protected branch. On Windows, the best practice is to embrace the branch password with double quotation marks ("). On macOS or Linux, either embrace the branch password with single quotation marks ('), or make sure that all special characters, including white-spaces, are escaped properly
