# buildmachine exclusive steam user:

see https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/sdk/uploading#Build_Account

# buildmachine auth key (on mac)

```
./builder_osx/steamcmd +login $STEAM_USR $STEAM_PWD +quit
```

verify credentials cached locally work:

```
./builder_osx/steamcmd +login $STEAM_USR +quit
```

If succesfull this creates `~/Library/Application\ Support/Steam/config/config.vdf`.

On a mac:
```
cp ~/Library/Application\ Support/Steam/config/config.vdf config.vdf
cat config.vdf | gzip | base64 | pbcopy
```

The gzipped and base64 encoded file is now in the clipboard and ready to be put into a CI secret.
