About This Tool

The Electron YAML Builder outputs a valid electron-builder.yml tailored to your project metadata and target platforms. It focuses on reproducible packaging configurations rather than builds. The tool models YAML as a structured schema: top-level metadata, directories, files, and per-target options for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It supports optional signing and publish blocks for CI workflows and can generate examples that illustrate installer-specific keys (NSIS, DMG, AppX) and publisher blocks. The generator merges defaults with user overrides, validates required keys, and emits a clean, CI-ready YAML snippet suitable for repository commits. It is designed for developers, release engineers, and DevOps teams seeking a reliable baseline configuration that remains aligned with the latest electron-builder schema. Core features include field validation, per-target configuration, deterministic indentation, and export-ready output that can feed automated release pipelines.
