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

The command "pio debug --project-conf ${path-to-platformio-ini}" is used to start a debugging session for a project based on the PlatformIO framework.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "pio debug": This is the main command to initiate the debugging process.
  • "--project-conf": This option specifies that you want to provide a project configuration file.
  • "${path-to-platformio-ini}": This placeholder represents the path to the project's platformio.ini file. The platformio.ini file is a configuration file for PlatformIO projects that contains various settings and options.

By specifying the path to the platformio.ini file using "${path-to-platformio-ini}", you can customize the debugging session based on the specific project configuration defined in that file.

Overall, this command allows you to start debugging a PlatformIO project while considering the specific project configuration defined in the platformio.ini file.
