What is a GNI file?

GNI files mostly belong to GN. GNI files can serve two specific roles.
For one role, they are used as a GN build configuration file. This type of file is a plain text script that contains build instructions and settings for the GN build system.

The file holds variable definitions, target rules, and compilation directives.

Developers edit it using a text editor.

It is processed by the GN tool, which you can learn about on the GN website.

For the other role, GNI files act as a Subsea 7 task file, also known as the AGNI task file format. In this case, the file stores task or project information used in controlled operational workflows.

The file is still text based and can be viewed with any standard editor.

However, specialized software from Subsea 7 or related platforms is usually needed to parse and fully use its contents.

FilExt.com note: Both uses rely on a structured text format. Choosing the correct software for your case will help in reading and editing the file properly.

How to open a GNI file

You need a suitable software like GN to open a GNI file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your GNI file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a GNI file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
