pio pkg pack [<source directory, tar.gz or zip>] [OPTIONS]
Create a tarball from a package (library, Development Platforms, or tool). If no arguments are supplied, then platformio packs the current package folder.
A source of a package must contain a manifest (should be located in a root of a package) depending on a package type:
A library.json is a manifest file of a library package.
A platform.json is a manifest file of a development platform package. See Manifest File platform.json.
A package.json is a manifest file of a tool package. It is intended for toolchains,
flashers, debugging servers, simulators, and other tools.
See a manifest validation scheme.
Specify a destination path (folder or a full path to file) where to store a tarball. The default is to create a tarball in the current working directory.
All files are included by default, with the following exceptions:
Certain files that are relevant to package installation and distribution are always
included. For example, library.json, README.md, LICENSE, etc.
If the export field is not declared in the manifest, the next default filters will be applied
If the export field is not declared in the manifest and there is a
.gitignore file, then ignored files in that and all child directories will be
excluded from the package.
