The process of installing #Godot export templates on a headless CI server is extremely annoying (unless there is a specific feature for that in the CLI that I cannot find documentation for).

Currently uploading the export templates from my local installation to the server via scp.

Would be so much easier if i could just curl or wget the files directly from the Godot website, but they only a ".tpz" file containing all templates that needs to be unpacked via the Godot UI

@ratsnakegames That sounds like a fun time 😅

Export templates in general seem like a WEIRDLY hard part of Godot's core game making process. When I decided to create ICBM as a tool in Godot, that was the one part I most worried about non-technical users getting hung up on.

@ConditionalCoder Like, at least tell me what CLI commands I need, otherwise you're just being a smartass

Introduction to the buildsystem

Godot is a primarily C++ project and it uses the SCons build system. We love SCons for how maintainable and easy to set up it makes our buildsystem. And thanks to that compiling Godot from source c...

@ConditionalCoder no, i am obviously not using scons just to export my Godot game
