You need to run it in Marlin git repository
commands:
    mct
        asks to 'clone' if current folder has no repository then run 'conf'
    mct conf
        open browser for interactive configuration
    mct clone
        clone current Marlin repository to current working directory
    mct git <git-tag> json|h|txt
        json: compare [gitroot]/Marlin/Configuration*.h files
              between git-tag files and files in folder then
              create .json files with your personal setting
        h:    extend [gitroot]/Marlin/Configuration*.h files
              from git-tag with .json files contained your personal setting
        txt:  like json but create txt files contained only changes
              for publication
    mct tree json|h|rm
      Each of these traverse [gitroot]/Marlin/example_configurations directory
        json: compare configurations with main files [gitroot]/Marlin/Configuration*.h
              and generate .json file with its differences for each
              and .not files for #defines which not present in base files

    • example: mct git 1.1.0-RC7 json (compare 1.1.0-RC7 release with your current files in folder and create .json)

    1. than copy .json files to another folder or change git branch
