MPB-REPORT(1)

💖 MPB-REPORT 💖 (that's the mpb-report command, section 1 of the manual, bestie)

okay so listen. you know the mass-prebuild thing? yeah. this is the little tool that turns all that chaos into a cute lil report you can send to your dev friends. no cap.

---

✨ NAME ✨

mpb-report — generate a report on the given mass-prebuild 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mpb-report [OPTION]...

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so once you've done a mass-prebuild, you're probably sitting there like... okay but what actually happened 😭 and that's literally the whole point of this tool. it cooks up a summary of the build in markdown format so you can share it with other developers. it's giving "here's the receipts, bestie".

like, for example:

$> mpb-report -b 190

that command right there? it generates a report for build 190, and it comes out looking something like this:

# Mass-prebuild mpb.190 (ID:190)

This report was generated using mpb-report 0.7.0

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -h, --help — shows you the help message and then dips out. classic. 👋
• --verbose, -V — makes it talk MORE. you can stack this one, like -VV, to keep bumping up how much info it spills. heads up though: the other options are affected by this verbosity level, so they might give you different info depending on how chatty you've made it. 👀
• --version, -v — shows the program version and exits. short and sweet, periodt.
• --buildid, -b BUILDID — use this one to say which mpb build you actually wanna work on. (this is the one you want, fr fr.)
• --output, -o OUTPUT — where to store the report. 📁✨
