babel-preset-gatsby usage without gatsby build

[zotijs]

Hello everyone,

I was following the Gatsby Babel documentation for custom babel configuration, but I am getting:

"babel-preset-gatsby has been loaded, which consumes config generated by the Gatsby CLI. Set NODE_ENV=test to bypass, or run gatsby build first."

Which make sense: https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/blob/master/packages/babel-preset-gatsby/src/index.js

So, babel-preset-gatsby cannot be used for custom babelrc configuration?
Should I use babel-preset-gatsby-package instead?

Thanks
