Arduino-Hidden-Boards-Manager

Overview

Arduino HiddenBoardsManager is a tool to manage hidden boards and declutter the Tools/Board scrollable menu in the Arduino IDE.

Limitations

Arduino IDE 1.8.x only

How does it work?

Arduino HiddenBoardsManager uses Arduino IDE's capability to mark a board as hidden, so no data is lost!

Hidden board names are saved in the boards.local.txt file in the package folder
