  • Make a virtual mosaic from all TIFF files contained in a directory:
    gdalbuildvrt path/to/output.vrt path/to/input_directory/*.tif
  • Make a virtual mosaic from files whose name is specified in a text file:
    gdalbuildvrt -input_file_list path/to/list.txt path/to/output.vrt
  • Make an RGB virtual mosaic from 3 single-band input files:
    gdalbuildvrt -separate path/to/rgb.vrt path/to/red.tif path/to/green.tif path/to/blue.tif
  • Make a virtual mosaic with blue background color (RGB: 0 0 255):
    gdalbuildvrt -hidenodata -vrtnodata "0 0 255" path/to/output.vrt path/to/input_directory/*.tif
