You've been able to do that for years[1]. I've been mostly programming my arduinos through headless rpis, because I don't like the idea of my untested electronic designs having any connection with my desktop. Plus it's really way more handy that way, vim + all my keyboard shortcuts etc.

With all due respect the Arduino CLI is superior to Makefiles and similar tools. it's a single binary (no python or other stuff to install) that uses clang and other tools to automatically deal with dependencies and the process of converting an ino file to a c++ file that can be compiled. it interfaces with the library manager and core manager , downloads all the necessary files etc.. it saves you a ton of time and pain.

I’m using this as well. Works great! Compiles and deploys much faster than the IDE I’ve found.
