Description

NUKE is the most intuitive and productive build automation system for C#/.NET that runs cross-platform on .NET Core, .NET Framework, and Mono. While builds are bootstrapped with conventional Bash or PowerShell scripts, their actual implementation resides in simple C# console applications. This approach unleashes the power of the type system and natively provides IDE features like code-completion, refactorings, and debugging. A custom global tool and several IDE extensions further improve how build projects are setup, authored and executed. A revolutionary code-generation approach ensures scalable integration of third-party tools like MSBuild or dotnet CLI.

Continuous Integration

NUKE builds and tests itself on several different CI servers, which helps ensuring a working integration with those systems. At the same time, the individual configuration files serve as example for the generation experience:

Build Server	Status	Platform	Configuration
TeamCity		Win	settings.kts
GitHub Actions		Win / Ubuntu / MacOS	continuous.yml
GitLab CI		Ubuntu	.gitlab-ci.yml
Azure Pipelines		Win / Linux / MacOS	azure-pipelines.yml
AppVeyor		Win / Ubuntu	appveyor.yml
