# Justbuild Justbuild is a generic build system supporting multi-repository builds. A pecularity of the tool is the separation between global names and physical location on the one hand, and logical paths used for actions and installation (sometimes referred to as "staging"). Language-specific information to translate high-level concepts (libraries, binaries) into individual compile action is taken from user-defined rules described by functional expressions. ## Getting Started * The most simple way to build the `just` binary from scratch is `python3 ./bin/bootstrap.py`. For more details see the [installation guide](INSTALL.md). * Tutorial - [Getting Started](doc/tutorial/getting-started.org) - [Hello World](doc/tutorial/hello-world.org) - [Third party dependencies](doc/tutorial/third-party-software.org) - [Tests](doc/tutorial/tests.org) - [Targets versus `FILE`, `GLOB`, and `TREE`](doc/tutorial/target-file-glob-tree.org) - [Ensuring reproducibility](doc/tutorial/rebuild.org) - [Using protobuf](doc/tutorial/proto.org) ## Documentation - [Overview](doc/concepts/overview.org) - [Build Configurations](doc/concepts/configuration.org) - [Multi-Repository Builds](doc/concepts/multi-repo.org) - [Expression Language](doc/concepts/expressions.org) - [Built-in Rules](doc/concepts/built-in-rules.org) - [User-Defined Rules](doc/concepts/rules.org) - [Documentation Strings](doc/concepts/doc-strings.org) - [Cache Pragma and Testing](doc/concepts/cache-pragma.org) - [Anonymous Targets](doc/concepts/anonymous-targets.org) - [Target-Level Caching](doc/concepts/target-cache.org)
