Remove OS from electron-builder CLI

See original GitHub issue

Is there a reason we specify the OS for electron-builder in package.json? I believe electron-builder should detect the OS it is building for by default. It’s a bit cumbersome to remember to add electron:windows, electron:mac etc. when building cross-platform, especially using a CI tool.

I’d propose merging all three to: "electron:build": "npm run build:prod && electron-builder build",

Hi @Lazza

You can still make cross-build with the commands below

npm run electron:build -- --windows
npm run electron:build -- --mac
npm run electron:build -- --linux
