$ python scripts/slave/recipes.py run --help
usage: recipes.py [-h] [-O PROJECT_OVERRIDE]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-O PROJECT_OVERRIDE, --project-override PROJECT_OVERRIDE
$ python scripts/slave/.recipe_deps/recipe_engine/recipes.py run --help
usage: recipes.py run [-h] [--properties-file PROPERTIES_FILE]
[--properties PROPERTIES] [--workdir WORKDIR]
[--output-result-json OUTPUT_RESULT_JSON] [--timestamps]
recipe ...
Run a recipe locally
positional arguments:
