Command Line

You can run orchestrator builds directly from your terminal - no GitHub Actions or CI platform required. All parameters in the API Reference can be specified as CLI flags.

Install​

Linux / macOS​

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/game-ci/orchestrator/main/install.sh | sh

Windows (PowerShell)​

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/game-ci/orchestrator/main/install.ps1 | iex

Pre-built binaries for every platform are available on the GitHub Releases page.

Examples​

Local build​

game-ci build \
  --target-platform StandaloneLinux64

Cloud build (AWS)​

game-ci build \
  --target-platform StandaloneLinux64 \
  --provider-strategy aws \
  --git-private-token $GIT_TOKEN

Cloud build (Kubernetes)​

game-ci build \
  --target-platform StandaloneLinux64 \
  --provider-strategy k8s \
  --git-private-token $GIT_TOKEN

List active resources​

game-ci list-resources --provider-strategy aws

Watch a running build​

game-ci watch --provider-strategy aws

Clean up old resources​

game-ci garbage-collect --provider-strategy aws

Cleans up stale cloud resources (AWS only): stops old ECS tasks, deletes job CloudFormation stacks, and removes old CloudWatch log groups. Resources are deleted immediately without confirmation. Use --garbageMaxAge to control the age threshold (default: 24 hours).

Keeping Commands Short​

Avoid long CLI flags for credentials by using environment variables or the Pull Secrets feature:

game-ci build \
  --target-platform StandaloneLinux64 \
  --populate-override true \
  --pull-input-list UNITY_EMAIL,UNITY_SERIAL,UNITY_PASSWORD \
  --input-pull-command='gcloud secrets versions access 1 --secret="{0}"'
