Suggestion: A way of packing .GMA files without Uploading to Workshop

As the title says, there should be an easy and convenient way of Packing a GMA file without uploading to the workshop

There's no need for this, GMA files have no use other than for publishing. They're redundant.

Well you have ways of extracting them,
even a simple way to construct them just so people can finally ditch GMPU for interacting with gma files

Not many people do this, but people self host the gma's for manual mounting and it's getting more common on servers

Yeah that's a good point. However, for something like server content I think it'd be more appropriate for people to automate it, and gmpublisher is not really designed for automation, being a GUI app.

True that, suggestion still stands though

Also considering your implementation of making .gma files is blazingly fast compared to gmad.exe a CLI util for this would be phenomenal
