Auto generate exports (schematics, gerbers, plots) for any KiCAD project. You could run it locally or on every git push with Github Actions.

      steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - uses: nerdyscout/kicad-exports@v2.0
        with:
        # Required - kiplot config file
          config: docs.kiplot.yaml
        # optional - prefix to output defined in config
          dir: .
        # optional - schematic file
          schema: *.sch
        # optional - PCB design file
          board: *.kicad_pcb
      - name: upload results
        uses: actions/upload-artifact@v2.0
        with:
          name: docs
          path: docs

The predefined configs do run a ERC and DRC in advance, if these checks fail no exports will be generated. You could write your own config file and define filters to ignore these errors therefore forcing to export the data. In this case be careful not to end up with some faulty PCB.

You need to have Docker installed.

git clone --recursive https://github.com/nerdyscout/kicad-exports /some/where/kicad-exports
cd /some/where/kicad-exports
make && make install

go to your KiCad project folder and run kicad-exports

cd /my/kicad/example-project
kicad-exports -d $DIR_OUT -e $SCHEMA -b $BOARD -c $CONFIG 

⚠️ running any command your git repository will be modified using kicad-git-filters.

kicad-exports -c docs.kiplot.yaml 

place config file in directory of your kicad project and use relative path.

kicad-exports -c myconfig.kiplot.yaml -v -s all

running localy enables additional paramaters

• -v, --verbose is useful while developing own config files
• -s, --skip $arg skips preflight from given config file

• Kiplot
• KiBoM
• IBoM
• kicad-automation-scripts
• PcbDraw
• kicad-git-filters
