pio-ci: Build a PlatformIO project using a specific configuration file.
$ pio ci --project-conf ${path-to-platformio-ini}
try on your machine

The command "pio ci" is used to build a project and generate firmware or software binary files using the PlatformIO command-line interface (CLI).

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "pio" refers to the PlatformIO command-line tool.
  • "ci" stands for "continuous integration" and is the command used to build a project in a specific environment.
  • "--project-conf" is an option that specifies the path to the configuration (ini) file of the project. This file contains various settings and configurations for the project, such as board type, build flags, and library dependencies.
  • "${path-to-platformio-ini}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual file path to the project's platformio.ini file.

Overall, this command is used to trigger the build process for a PlatformIO project, with the given configuration file. It allows for automation and integration into continuous integration workflows.
