PYSIDE6-PROJECT(1)

💖 PYSIDE6-PROJECT 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to pyside6-project — that's the manual page name, section 1 of the PySide6 tools manuals, and yeah it lives on your system as pyside6-project(1). Sit down, hydrate, we're doing this 🫶

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

pyside6-project — project

no literally that's it, the official one-word name is project. iconic minimalism honestly ✨

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

Here's the whole vibe, exactly as it prints when you ask for help:

usage: project.py [-h] [--quiet] [--dry-run] [--force] [--qml-module]
       {new-quick,new-ui,new-widget,build,run,clean,qmllint,deploy,lupdate,migrate-pyproject}
       ...

so pyside6-project is a command line tool for creating, building and deploying Qt for Python applications. it works on project files — and heads up, these are the same project files that Qt Creator uses, so you and Qt Creator are literally sharing, iykyk 👑

Official documentation, bookmark it bestie:

✨ positional arguments ✨

you gotta pick one of these, they're the whole menu:

{new-quick,new-ui,new-widget,build,run,clean,qmllint,deploy,lupdate,migrate-pyproject}

• new-quick — spin up a brand new Qt Quick project 🦋
• new-ui — spin up a brand new Qt Widgets Form project
• new-widget — spin up a brand new Qt Widgets project
• build — build the project. it compiles resources, UI files, and QML files if they exist and it's necessary 💅
• run — build the project and run it. two birds, one command, obsessed 🔥
• clean — clean the build artifacts and generated files out of the project directory. self-care, but for directories 🧹
• qmllint — run the qmllint tool on the QML files in the project
• deploy — create a deployable package of the application, including all dependencies. the whole friend group is coming 🌸
• lupdate — update translation files (.ts) with new strings from the source files
• migrate-pyproject — migrate a *.pyproject file to pyproject.toml format. glow-up arc ⭐

---

💅 options 💅

• -h, --help — show this help message and exit. the classic escape hatch, no notes 😌
• --quiet, -q — Quiet
• --dry-run, -n — Only print commands
• --force, -f — Force rebuild
• --qml-module, -Q — Perform check for QML module

ngl bestie, --dry-run is your bestie-bestie. it prints the commands without doing them, so you can vibe check before you commit. and --force means no caching shenanigans, it's rebuilding periodt 💀
