    Hi @pavelkouril ,

    Thank you for your suggestion.
    Adding a CLI to the Hub is something that comes up more and more often these days and that we're definitely considering. Be ensured that we'll discuss it with the team and evaluate where it could fit into the current Hub's roadmap.

    Hello @mathieub

    any progress with the command line arguments, or at least some configuration for the cache server? Not being able to specify the used cache server makes using the combination of a Hub and the server really cumbersome. :/

    Hello @pavelkouril,

    Thanks for you're feedback. Despite a CLI for the Hub being considered with a high priority in our backlog, we're now focusing on stabilization and a UI revamp for the next couple of weeks.

    The good news regarding the cache server is that we're definitely considering an integration (at least monitoring / configuration) into the Hub which should make things way more easy.

    I would like to pass command line arguments to Unity via Hub.

    A hub without the ability to pass individual Unity version's commandline parameters makes it pretty unusable
    I don't understand why this is not pushed up in priority ?
    Just was bitten by this, as the Unity Hub launched my unity project without the correct cacheserver configuration, meaning a >4h import pass for nothing ( which i killed of course )

    Hi there,

    We understand your legit frustrations regarding the missing CLI feature. We're still in the phase of finalizing Hub v2.

    In the meantime, since my last message, some initiatives have bumped on top of our backlog shoving our initial roadmap . Though, as soon as Hub V2 has been finalized, CLI stay the next priority !

    Thank you all for your patience.

    To add to @mathieub feedback, we're looking at both Hub CLI (e.g. for all Hub operations) but also independently the ability to pass on CLI argument to the Editor (via a UI for example).

    For the Editor CLI side, we've heard requests on two levels. Global CLI arguments that you will always needs for given Editor release (e.g. a constant value set for 2018.3) , and project specific Editor CLI (e.g. Project X will alway load the Editor with a specific CLI argument).

    It would be great to get more feedback and use cases on how you (the Hub users) would like to leverage this)

    Thanks,
    Daniel

    My main concern is running one instance of a cache server per Unity instance. I am working on a multi-platform experience. Switching platforms is already slower than just using a versioning system to push changes back and forth. But since it's quite error prone which Unity version will be the one to get a hold on the started cache server makes building for all platforms at once a time consuming difference of at least half an hour, depending on hooked to the cache server or reimporting everything again caused by platform switching when building.

    I need to send command line args to Unity, and I'm fine with bypassing the hub to do this for now... but when I run Unity.exe directly, it forks back to the Unity Hub and the command line args are lost. How do I get around this?

    Currently, to bypass the Hub using command line, the Unity Editor needs to open in a project.
    Use `-createProject <pathname>` to create or `-projectPath <pathname>` to open project directly in the Editor.

    You may directly set argument in Hub starting from Hub v2.1, current ETA is August
