Unity CLI

Unity Technologies Inc.·Unity.CLI

Command-line interface for installing Unity Editors and creating, opening, and building Unity projects.

The Unity CLI (invoked as "unity") manages Unity Editor installations and modules, creates and opens projects, runs builds and Editor commands, and manages licenses and cloud sign-in from the terminal. This build reports its version as 1.0.0-beta.10; MSIX package versions encode the prerelease channel in the fourth (revision) field.

Release Notes

Highlights of 1.0.0-beta.10 (full notes at the release notes URL):

  • Security: unity mcp configure no longer follows a symlinked path component when writing a client's config file, confining a --local write to the project directory and closing an arbitrary-file-overwrite gap a malicious cloned repo could trigger. Every client config write is now atomic.
  • Security: unity mcp configure --dry-run no longer prints your whole existing MCP config file, which is exactly where per-server credentials live.
  • Security: the resident auth broker now signs every refresh-token request with a DPoP (RFC 9449) proof, and both its signing key and its token store are hardware-backed where the machine supports it: TPM on Windows and Linux, Secure Enclave on macOS.
  • Security: the Editor identity daemon and the auth broker now verify a connecting peer's code signature before serving it on macOS and Windows, and on macOS the CLI no longer ad-hoc re-signs a downloaded plugin or component whose signature fails to verify.
  • unity context defines named bundles of the five defaults you otherwise set one command at a time: active account, default organization, cloud project, editor and install path.
  • unity commands emits the CLI's own command tree as a machine-readable manifest, and unity vcs blame reports who last changed each GameObject and component in a scene or prefab, with commit, author and date.
  • Unity Accelerator support: unity config accelerator host:port persists an import-cache endpoint that unity run, unity test and other commands reuse instead of retyping it per invocation.
  • Build discovery and iteration: unity build gains --create-profile, --list-targets and --list-profiles, and unity build run relaunches the most recent successful build without rebuilding.
  • unity watch test re-runs unity test --affected on every project change, and a committed ProjectSettings/UnityCliConfig.json declares unity build and unity test defaults once for a whole repository.
  • Fixes include Editor discovery from WSL against an Editor on the Windows host, Editors briefly reported unreachable after a recompile, git misreported as missing on Windows on Arm, and self-update and self-install on Windows when a resident helper holds the binary open.
