Allows the selection of specific builds of a game server in SteamCMD |
Game developers sometimes make available several builds of the game server on Steam, often to allow beta testing of new releases. These builds are made available via branches (betas) and can be entered in the LinuxGSM Config.
A list of all available branches for a game server are listed on SteamDB under the appid depots.

The default SteamCMD branch is public. However, it is possible to use other builds by entering a branch name in the branch setting in your LinuxGSM config.
# Steam App Branch Select
# Example: "latest_experimental"
branch="staging"
Some branches require a password. This can be done by entering a password in thebetapassword setting in your LinuxGSM config.
betapassword="branchpassword"
