        }
    },
}

qt-build-cli copy -c test/config.json -r VIRABLE-test1

it will activate demo1,demo2 and demo3

qt-build-cli copy -c test/config.json demo1

it will activate demo1

COMMAND

qt-build-cli copy -c 'test/source/copy/1.cpp-test/target/copy'

it will copy the 1.cpp file to target

qt-build-cli copy -c 'test/source/copy/1.cpp-test/target/copy/1.cpp'

it will copy the 1.cpp file to target

qt-build-cli copy -c 'test/source/copy/1.cpp-test/target/copy/1copy.cpp'

it will copy the 1.cpp file to target and rename to 1copy.cpp

qt-build-cli copy -c 'test/source/copy/1.*-test/target/copy'

it will copy the files startwith 1. (eg:1.txt,1.cpp and so on) to target

qt-build-cli copy -c 'test/source/copy/{{VIRABLE}}.*-test/target/copy' -r VIRABLE-1

it will replace the VIRABLE by 1,and copy the 1.* files to target

Careful

you can not copy files to a file,this may cause something unpredictable.

buildStyle

CONFIG FILE

//config.json
{
     "buildStyle": {
        "demo1": {
            "from": {
                "prefix": "test/source/buildstyle",

                "prefix": "test/source/buildstyle",

            },
            "to": {
                "prefix": "test/target/buildstyle",
                "item": "{{VIRABLE}}.qss"
            }
        }
    }
}

qt-build-cli buildStyle -c test/config.json -r VIRABLE-app

it will activate demo1,demo2,replace the VIRABLE by app and build a.less to a.qss,app.less to app.qss

qt-build-cli buildStyle -c test/config.json demo1

it will activate demo1 and build a.less to a.qss

COMMAND

qt-build-cli buildStyle -c 'test/source/buildstyle/a.less-test/target/buildstyle/a.qss'

it will use lessc to build a.less to a.qss

qt-build-cli buildStyle -c 'test/source/buildstyle/{{VIRABLE}}.less-test/target/buildstyle/{{VIRABLE}}.qss' -r VIRABLE-app

it will replace the VIRABLE by app and then use lessc to build app.less to app.qss

qt-build-cli buildStyle -c 'test/source/buildstyle/a.less-test/target/buildstyle/a.qss' -p '--js'

it will use lessc to build a.less to a.qss with param --js, the cmd will like follow

lessc test/source/buildstyle/a.less test/target/buildstyle/a.qss --js

qt-build-cli buildStyle -c 'test/source/buildstyle/a.less-test/target/buildstyle/a.qss' 'test/source/buildstyle/{{VIRABLE}}.less-test/target/buildstyle/{{VIRABLE}}.qss' -r VIRABLE-app -p '\ --js' '\ --modify-var=theme=yellow'

it will use lessc to build ,the cmd will like follow(if you want to add params to less,you should add "\ " to avoid it mistakenly as options)

lessc test/source/buildstyle/a.less test/target/buildstyle/a.qss \ --js
lessc test/source/buildstyle/app.less test/target/buildstyle/app.qss \ --modify-var=theme=yellow
