The command "obs --portable" is used to launch the Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) in portable mode. Here's what it means:
- "obs" refers to the name of the executable file or command used to run OBS.
- "--portable" is a command-line argument or flag that tells OBS to run in portable mode.
When OBS is launched in portable mode, it means that the software will operate without accessing or modifying any external files or directories on your computer, except for the ones required to run the OBS application itself. This includes avoiding the creation or modification of configuration files, settings, or preferences that would typically be stored in the user's home directory or system folders.
Portable mode is often used when you want to run OBS from a USB drive or an external storage device, allowing you to easily transfer and use OBS on different computers without leaving any traces or configurations behind. This mode ensures that OBS does not leave any temporary or permanent files on the host computer.
