CONSIDER a command like "ardi compile-and-upload"?

[egnor]

I continue to use and love Ardi!! 🙏 I am recommending it to everyone!

A very very common use case is to run ardi compile followed by ardi upload. If one is not careful, it's easy to forget the compile step, or not notice a failure, and upload an old firmware image from a previous compilation.

Possibilities:

• Add an ardi compile-and-upload command (that takes the union of both steps options), which can become the standard thing to run for programming (similar to attach-and-watch).
• Make ardi upload complain (perhaps even fail) if the firmware image is older than the source .ino file (and its dependencies??).
• Or maybe even make ardi upload always build as needed??

Thanks for the continued support!! ❤️

I like the idea of adding a compile-and-upload command while keeping the upload command pure. This way the intent is always clear. I've already started on a draft of this approach.

I'll look into making the upload command complain if the firmware image is older than the source .ino but I'll refrain from failing so as not to make assumptions about what the user intends.

Once again thank you for the awesome suggestions!

Done and released in v2.4.0 ! I've also added the command aliases to the docs and the help menus. For example ardi compile-and-upload can also be called via ardi deploy
