Solution

arduino-builder — Compile arduino sketches. DEPRECATION WARNING: this tool is being phased out in favor of arduino. More information: <https://github.com/arduino/arduino-builder>.

Compile a sketch:

arduino-builder -compile {{path/to/sketch.ino}}

Specify the debug level (default: 5):

arduino-builder -debug-level {{1..10}}

Specify a custom build directory:

arduino-builder -build-path {{path/to/build_directory}}

Use a build option file, instead of specifying -hardware, -tools, etc. manually every time:

arduino-builder -build-options-file {{path/to/build.options.json}}

Enable verbose mode:

arduino-builder -verbose {{true}}
