Getting "invalid target" or "invalid game" in Butler?

Trying to push my first build via Butler and I’m getting “invalid target” or “invalid game” no matter what I seem to choose for butler syntax.

I’m using the latest Butler (v15.20.0) and AFAIK my credentials should be correct? Butler validate works. Have I got something wrong here? I’m able to upload via the web interface, but not via butler.

The correct format of the butler command is the first one you used:

butler push <project_directory> rogdolos/<your_game>:win

That one gave you the error invalid game. This can be caused for a couple of reasons:

Did you make sure to create the project page first from the website? butler is for pushing builds on projects that are already created.
Did you misspell your game? You typed Parkour_Prototype, to confirm if this is indeed the correct name for your project, go to your project’s page and look at the URL on top, it should look something like https://rogdolos.itch.io/<your_game>. Make sure to copy that value and pass it on the butler command.

Hope this helps :)

Aha! Thank you, checking the URL of my project’s link helped, because it seems that Itch replaces underscores with a dash, so parkour-prototype worked instead.

Your help is very much appreciated. =)
