list-worfklow

lists running workflows

watch

follows logs of a running workflow

- print-input (prints all input parameters)

Utility commands

- remote-cli-pre-build (sets up a repository, usually before a game-ci build)
- remote-cli-post-build (pushes to LFS and Library cache)

Commands called during cloud runner workflows before/after a build.

Common Parameters​

Git syncronization parameters​

gitPrivateToken (should be a GitHub access token with permission to get repositories)

Used to authenticate remote job's access to repository.

- GITHUB_REPOSITORY
- GITHUB_REF || branch || GitSHA

Used to syncronize the repository to the Cloud Runner job. If parameters are not provided, will attempt to read them from current directory's git repo (e.g branch, commit SHA, remote URL).

- postBuildContainerHooks
- preBuildContainerHooks

Specifies the name of custom hook or step files to include in workflow. (Accepted Format: see "container hooks command hooks")

- useCompressionStrategy (Use Lz4 compression for cache and build artifacts. Enabled by default)

Retained Workspace​

- maxRetainedWorkspaces

See: Advanced Topics / Retained Workspaces, enables caching entire project folder.
