Build your Box config file

As there are no legacy commands to realize this operation, we present here only the new pipeline syntax.

Tip

We recommend to use the *.json.dist suffix file for writing the final Box configuration file. But you're free to use whatever naming strategy you want.

Warning

If you want to use the -d|--working-dir option of make command to change current working directory at runtime, you should disable the dump-autoload setting, due to BOX issue 580.
