pio-package: Create a package tarball from the current directory.
$ pio package pack --output ${path-to-package-tar-gz}
try on your machine
The command "pio package pack --output ${path-to-package-tar-gz}" is a command-line instruction targeting the PlatformIO (PIO) tool.
Here's what each part of the command does:
- "pio" is the main command for invoking the PlatformIO tool.
- "package" is a subcommand that deals with packaging source code files and resources into a distributable package.
- "pack" is a subcommand within the "package" command that specifically instructs PlatformIO to pack the package.
- "--output" is a flag indicating that the following argument specifies the output destination for the generated package file.
- "${path-to-package-tar-gz}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual file path and name for the output package file. It should have the ".tar.gz" extension.
Therefore, this command is instructing PlatformIO to pack a package using the "pack" subcommand and save it to the specified output file path, which should end with the ".tar.gz" extension.
