build

The build script is your main gateway into the DevKit build environment. Its primary purpose is to provide a consistent environment for all build and test-related tasks. By running builds inside a container, you eliminate the "works on my machine" problem.

This environment is packed with all the essential tools required for a robust build process, primarily the Bazel (via Bazelisk). Bazel is responsible for guaranteeing build hermeticity and reproducibility.

You can use the script in two main ways:

1. Execute a command: Pass any command and its arguments to the script, and it will be executed inside the container. For example: build bazel build //...

2. Interactive session: If you run the script with no arguments through build, it will drop you into an interactive bash shell inside the container, allowing you to explore the environment and run commands manually.

Usage

usage: build [-h] [COMMAND ...]

Runs a command inside the build environment container.
If no command is provided, it starts an interactive bash session.

options:
  -h, --help            Show this help message and exit.

Example

devkit/build build bazel build //...
