Requirements
- macOS or Windows 10/11
- Node.js 20+
Installation & Run
npx unity-hub-cliOr install globally to use the unity-hub-cli command directly:
npm install -g unity-hub-cli
unity-hub-cliWorks from PowerShell and CMD. Git Bash is supported when running inside a ConPTY-based terminal (Windows Terminal or VS Code/Cursor integrated terminal).
On standalone Git Bash (MinTTY), raw mode is not supported; use PowerShell/CMD/Windows Terminal. If you must use MinTTY Git Bash, run one of the following:
winpty cmd.exe /c npx unity-hub-cliwinpty powershell.exe -NoProfile -Command npx unity-hub-cli
Controls
| Key | Action |

| o | Launch selected project in Unity |
| O (Shift+O) | Launch Unity + external editor (e.g., Rider) |

| c | Copy project path to clipboard |
| s | Open sort settings panel |

In settings panels, use j/k to navigate, Space to toggle, and Esc to close.
The display includes Git branch (if present), Unity version, project path, and last modified time. By default, the project list uses the Git repository root folder name when available.
CLI Options
--no-git-root-name: Display Unity project titles instead of Git repository root folder names.
