CLI Arguments

Arrow accepts following command-line arguments:

--manual

Shows a brief manual similar to this document.

--config-dir

Tells Arrow to search for a configuration file in the directory path that follows it.

$ Arrow --config-dir '/home/user/.config'

The configuration file is called config.arrow and will be auto detected.

Absolute paths and Godot relative paths (i.e. res:// or user://) are valid.

Arrow will create a default config file if it does not exist, but will not create the directory. Arrow uses default (hardcoded) configurations, if no config file is found or could be created.

--sandbox

The editor runs in sandbox mode with default configurations.

In sandbox-mode, no arrow.config file will be generated automatically.

--work-dir

Tells Arrow to use the directory path that follows, for project management.

Arrow is designed to consider each work directory an independent workspace with its own projects.arrow listing file.

$ Arrow --work-dir '/home/user/my_arrow_adventures'

Absolute paths and Godot relative paths (i.e. res:// or user://) are valid.

Arrow will not create the directory if it doesn't exist.
