C# interactive build automation system makes it easy to build .NET projects. It can be part of your solution as a regular console cross-platform .NET application or run C# scripts without compiling them, or even run in REPL mode - allowing you to run C# interactively.

+
16
+
### ✔️ Three Integrated [Execution Modes](#operating-modes)
17
+
Flexible interoperability between modes for diverse workflow requirements.
18
+
### ✔️ Native Cross-Platform Support
19
+
Seamless operation across Windows, Linux, and macOS environments.
20
+
### ✔️ Debugging Support
21
+
Ability to debug in “.NET build project” mode, allowing developers to efficiently identify and fix problems during the compilation and build process.
22
+
### ✔️ Zero Abstraction Constraints
23
+
No restrictive abstractions (e.g., Tasks, Targets, DependsOn) to limit script design:
24
+
- Pure .NET codebase – no proprietary syntax or hidden layers
25
+
- Adheres to industry-standard coding practices for maintainability
26
+
### ✔️ Powerful API for building .NET projects
27
+
Granular control over builds, tests, and deployments with streamlined project configuration.
28
+
### ✔️ Summarised statistics
29
+
Consolidated build statistics.
