Cake (C# Make) is a free and open-source cross-platform build automation system with a C# DSL for tasks such as compiling code, copying files and folders, running unit tests, compressing files, and building NuGet packages. Cake is built on top of the Roslyn compiler which enables you to write your build scripts in pure C# in either a standard console project, using Cake Frosting, or as Cake script using Cake .NET Tool. Cake runs on a modern .NET platform (.NET Core 3.1 or .NET 5 and newer) and is available on Windows, Linux, and macOS. See Runners for a list of available runners. Cake can run as simple console applications with full IDE integration including IntelliSense or refactoring. There are extensions available to provide advanced features for the most popular IDEs and editors. See Editors for a detailed feature list. Regardless if you're building on your own machine, or building on a CI system such as Azure Pipelines, GitHub Actions, TeamCity or Jenkins.
