NUKE is an 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 | N/A |
| GitHub Actions |  |
Win / Ubuntu / MacOS | continuous.yml |
| TeamCity |  |
Win | settings.kts |
| Travis CI |  |
MacOS / Ubuntu | .travis.yml |
NUKE is already a stable full-featured tool that allows implementing build automation on a professional level, and it continues to evolve! We add new features all the time, but we have too many new cool ideas so that any help is highly appreciated. You can develop new features, fix bugs, improve the documentation, or do some other cool stuff.
If you want to contribute, check out the contribution guidelines and first-timer issues. If you have new ideas or want to complain about bugs, feel free to create an issue. Let's create the best tool for build automation together!
Thanks to all the great people who have already contributed to the project!
