This allows you to create a skeleton directory of custom files, configs, maps etc. ## Commands Standard: `./gameserver skeleton` Short: `./gameserver sk` ### Skeleton Directory The skeleton directory is created in `skel`. ``` /home/gameserver/skel ``` ### Use Case Skeleton can be used alongside version control software like [git](https://guides.github.com/introduction/git-handbook/) or backed up to save custom configurations for a game server. If a change is added to your git repository/backup it is possible to pull/copy the updates to your game server. If you want to re-deploy a game server you can create a fresh installation and pull/copy in the custom changes over the top of the fresh install. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.linuxgsm.com/commands/skeleton.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
