CLI

Nittos cli has quite some commands:

nitto build (or b): builds all or only the given targets. Use --rebuild (-r) to rebuild everything.
nitto conf: manage project configuration; see here.
nitto uconf: manage user configuration; see here.
nitto run: run any given target; add --debug (-d) to start a debug session.
nitto show: show data about your project; see below.
nitto generate (or gen): generate some usefull files; see below
nitto version: print version information about nitto
nitto package (or pack): interact with nittos package management system; see here.

Show project data

With nitto show you can show many different things about your project:

deps: print a simple dependency tree.
targets: list all targets (use -j for json).
result: lists all result files any given target will produce (use -j for json).
triplets: show a full list of triplets available (use -j for json).

Note: all commands with -j also support the long-hand form of --json!

With nitto generate, nitto supports a wide range of utility files you can benefit from:

compile_commands_json: generates a compile_commands.json like clang or vscode uses. With --path (-p) you can specify the exact location to put the file in; if not specified, it tries to find .vscode in the current working directory and places it inside if it exists; else it just places it into the current directory.
