gno {build,test,publish} -X (initialization parameters)

[moul]

Like go build -X and go install -X, this feature in gno allows you to override variables during build, test, and publish operations. For instance:

var myVar string = "default"

$ gno {build,test,publish} -X myVar=override
...

As a result, the file is patched when parsed into MemFile, reflecting the overridden value for myVar.

This won't be working for gnokey addpkg in that case, but would only work with gno publish -X myVar=override.
The deployed code will have the static variable stored on the code right?

Yes, gnokey stays minimal, gno can have more logic.

Yes, basically, .gno files are patched before publish.
