NUKE — a modern build system for C#/.NET
summary
NUKE is a cross‑platform C#/.NET build system (since April 2017) that runs on .NET Core, .NET Framework and Mono and implements builds as C# console build projects so IDE features work (completion, refactor, debug). It provides a custom global tool and IDE extensions, a fluent dependency model with dependsOn/trigger/ordering, live HTML target graphs, auto-completion for parameters and an AbsolutePath type, parallel execution (degree control), and build sharing via pack as global dotnet tool or external template files; Avalonia UI uses it and recent parity adds Visual Studio integration.
