Half-Day Bazel Bootcamp (Part 1)
summary
Bootcamp shows a working setup: a 39-line Go app and Java examples built with Bazel v2.0-RC3 using bazelisk, fetching dependencies via http_archive and go_repository, and generating Go build files with Gazelle. Workspace and .bazelrc share disk caches so repeated builds complete almost instantly; first runs download three JDK archives (Linux/Mac/Windows) and register toolchains via alias/select. Buildifier autoformats BUILD files; macOS zsh and Windows path quoting are common gotchas.
