Building your software in a nutshell

  1. Create your build using a scripting tool, such as Ant (https://ant.apache.org/), Make (https://www.gnu.org/software/make/), Maven (https://maven.apache.org/), or Rake (https://ruby.github.io/rake/)
  2. Start with a simple process in the CI build
  3. Add each process to integrate your software within the build script
  4. Run your script from the command line or an IDE
