๐ Installs Bazel tooling
{Fast, Correct} - Choose two
Build and test software of any size, quickly and reliably.
- Speed up your builds and tests: Bazel rebuilds only what is necessary. With advanced local and distributed caching, optimized dependency analysis and parallel execution, you get fast and incremental builds.
- One tool, multiple languages: Build and test Java, C++, Android, iOS, Go, and a wide variety of other language platforms. Bazel runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
- Scalable: Bazel helps you scale your organization, codebase, and continuous integration solution. It handles codebases of any size, in multiple repositories or a huge monorepo.
- Extensible to your needs: Easily add support for new languages and platforms with Bazel's familiar extension language. Share and re-use language rules written by the growing Bazel community.
โ bazelbuild/bazel: a fast, scalable, multi-language and extensible build system
This Feature installs Bazel using Bazelisk. Then, it symlinks
/usr/local/bin/bazel
to the Bazelisk installation so that you can use bazel
as normal through bazelisk
. The main feature of Bazelisk is that it
automatically uses the correct Bazel version based on things like
$USE_BAZEL_VERSION
, .bazeliskrc
, .bazelversion
, and more. This feature
also installs the Bazel VS Code extension. Oh, and it also installs
Buildifier for your convenience. ๐

You can specify a bazelisk_version
and a buildifier_version
to pin each of
the tools like this:
// devcontainer.json
"features": {
"ghcr.io/devcontainers-community/features/bazel": {
"bazelisk_version": "v1.17.0",
"buildifier_version": "v6.1.2"
}
