Nuke

Nuke is a build automation system for defining software compilation and deployment pipelines using a strongly typed C# console application. It functions as a cross-platform build engine and pipeline orchestrator that treats build configurations as standard executable programs rather than static files.

By leveraging a compiled language, the system provides type safety and IDE support for build script logic. This approach allows for the definition of automation and CI/CD pipelines using a professional programming language instead of YAML or shell scripts.

The engine manages .NET project orchestration through a directed acyclic graph for task execution and target-based dependency resolution. It includes capabilities for concurrent task scheduling and state-based incremental builds to skip unchanged tasks.

Features

Build Automation - Provides a comprehensive system for automating software compilation, packaging, and deployment workflows.

C# Automation Scripts - Enables writing build automation and deployment scripts using a strongly typed C# console application.

Build Automation Systems - Functions as a build automation system that orchestrates the compilation and packaging of source code into artifacts.

DAG-Based Orchestration - Uses directed acyclic graphs to determine task execution order and enable parallelization of independent build steps.

.NET Project Coordination - Manages dependencies and execution order for multiple .NET projects within a single automated system.

Build Pipeline Orchestrators - Acts as a configurable engine that executes transformation stages to process source code into production artifacts.

Pipeline-as-Code - Allows defining complex build and release pipelines as standard C# code instead of YAML or shell scripts.

Type-Safe Build DSLs - Provides a strongly typed build definition language with compile-time validation and IDE autocomplete.

Type-Safe Build Scripts - Provides full IDE support and compile-time type safety for build automation logic to reduce errors.

Type-Safe Build Tooling - Leverages a compiled language to provide IDE support and type safety for build script logic.

Console-Based Execution - Treats build configurations as standard executable console programs instead of static configuration files.

Cross-Platform Build Systems - Provides an automation engine capable of executing build pipelines across multiple operating systems.

Incremental Build Engines - Compares file hashes and metadata to skip tasks whose inputs and outputs have not changed.

CI CD Pipelines - Facilitates the definition of automated workflows for testing and deploying software updates.

Task Schedulers - Implements a worker-pool mechanism to execute independent build tasks concurrently across multiple CPU cores.

DAG-Based Dependency Resolution - Calculates the correct build sequence by treating targets as nodes in a directed acyclic graph.

Build Automation - Cross-platform build automation system.

Build Automation - Cross-platform build system using C# DSL.
