The AKEless Build System for C#/.NET
NUKE is the best open-source 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.

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 |
---|---|---|---|
AppVeyor | Win / Ubuntu | appveyor.yml | |
Azure Pipelines | Win / Linux / MacOS | azure-pipelines.yml | |
Bitrise | Ubuntu | bitrise.yml | |
GitHub Actions | Win / Ubuntu / MacOS | continuous.yml | |
GitLab CI | Ubuntu | .gitlab-ci.yml | |
TeamCity | Win | settings.kts | |
Travis CI | MacOS / Ubuntu | .travis.yml |
