Matrix Blueprints

Matrices provide a streamlined way to configure common attributes across multiple builds. For instance, when exporting your game to Windows, Linux, and Android, each platform shares common elements like the Git repository and Git reference, but they vary in preset names and object.

This is where the matrix becomes incredibly useful. You can set up the common attributes in the matrix configuration while specifying the unique details for each job.

Why Use Matrix Operations?

1. Efficiency: By running multiple jobs simultaneously, matrix operations reduce the time it takes to compile Godot to different platforms.

2. Early Detection of Issues: With matrix builds, potential problems can be identified quickly across different scenarios, leading to faster fixes and higher code quality.
