On Windows:

**To generate Testing build config of Electron:**
On Linux & MacOS
```sh
$ gn gen out/Testing --args="import(\"//electron/build/args/testing.gn\")"
```
On Windows:
```sh
# cmd
$ gn gen out/Testing --args="import(\"//electron/build/args/testing.gn\")"
# PowerShell
gn gen out/Testing --args="import(\`"//electron/build/args/testing.gn\`")"
```
**To generate Release build config of Electron:**
On Linux & MacOS
```sh
$ gn gen out/Release --args="import(\"//electron/build/args/release.gn\")"
```
On Windows:
```sh
# cmd
$ gn gen out/Release --args="import(\"//electron/build/args/release.gn\")"
# PowerShell
$ gn gen out/Release --args="import(\`"//electron/build/args/release.gn\`")"
```
**Note:** This will generate a `out/Testing` or `out/Release` build directory under `src/` with the testing or release build depending upon the configuration passed above. You can replace `Testing|Release` with another names, but it should be a subdirectory of `out`.
Also you shouldn't have to run `gn gen` again—if you want to change the build arguments, you can run `gn args out/Testing` to bring up an editor. To see the list of available build configuration options, run `gn args out/Testing --list`.
