## Basic usage

##### ```> hot-builder build```

Builds custom version of handsontable.

Arguments:
- ```-i, --input``` - Path to a directory where Handsontable Community Edition or Handsontable PRO repository was downloaded.
- ```-o, --output-dir``` - Output directory where generated bundle will be saved.
- ```-a, --include-all``` - Includes all found modules into generated bundle.

- ```-U, --no-ui``` - Disables the UI.
- ```--repository-tag``` - Specifies which version of Handsontable Community Edition or Handsontable PRO repository will be cloned (eg. `--repository-tag develop`, or `--repository-tag 0.32.0`). This option is active only if you omitted `-i`, `--input` argument.
- ```--pro``` - Indicates that version specified by `--repository-tag` argument will be referring to the Handsontable PRO package.

##### ```> hot-builder -h```

## Examples

Build your custom handsontable Community Edition package (from the handsontable remote repository)

```sh
$ hot-builder build -o hot-dist
```

Or build your custom handsontable Community Edition package using a local directory

```sh
$ hot-builder build -i path-to-your-handsontable-copy/ -o hot-dist
```

After executing command and selecting plugins, the builder automatically resolves all plugins and external libraries before building a package in the `hot-dist` directory.
