](https://nuke.build/)\n\nSolid and scalable CI/CD pipelines are an essential pillar for being competitive and creating a great product. But why are most of us a little afraid of touching YAML files and don't even dare to look at build scripts? Much of this is because C# developers are spoiled with a great language and smart IDEs, and they don't like missing their buddy for code-completion, ease of debugging, refactorings, and code formatting.\n\nNUKE brings your build automation to an even level with every other .NET project. How? It's a regular console application allowing all the OOP goodness! Besides, it solves many common problems in build automation, like parameter injection, path separator abstraction, access to solution and project models, and build step sharing across repositories. NUKE can also generate CI/CD configurations (YAML, etc.) that automatically parallelize build steps on multiple agents to optimize throughput!\n\n**For more information check out our [documentation](https://nuke.build/docs/introduction/) or visit our community ...**\n\n\n\n\n\n\n## Example\n\n![](\"https://github.com/nuke-build/nuke/raw/develop/images/example-1.png\")
\n\n## Build Status\n\nNUKE builds and tests itself on several CI/CD services, which helps to ensure a working integration with those systems. At the same time, the individual configuration files serve as examples for the [generation experience](https://www.nuke.build/docs/authoring-builds/ci-integration.html#configuration-generation):\n\n| Build Server | Status | Platform | Configuration | \n|-----------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|:--------------------:|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| TeamCity | | Win | [settings.kts](https://github.com/nuke-build/nuke/blob/develop/.teamcity/settings.kts) |\n| GitHub Actions | | Win / Ubuntu / macOS | [continuous.yml](https://github.com/nuke-build/nuke/blob/develop/.github/workflows/continuous.yml) |\n| GitLab CI | | Ubuntu | [.gitlab-ci.yml](https://github.com/nuke-build/nuke/blob/develop/.gitlab-ci.yml) |\n| Azure Pipelines | | Win / Linux / macOS | [azure-pipelines.yml](https://github.com/nuke-build/nuke/blob/develop/azure-pipelines.yml) |\n| AppVeyor | | Win / Ubuntu | [appveyor.yml](https://github.com/nuke-build/nuke/blob/develop/appveyor.continuous.yml) |\n\n[comment]: <> (| Bitrise | [](https://www.bitrise.io/app/ffb","github_created_at":"2017-06-09T01:01:16+00:00","created_at":"2026-07-15T10:51:03.59933+00:00","updated_at":"2026-09-20T04:28:18.60312+00:00","categories":[{"slug":"developer-tools","name":"Developer Tools","url":"https://www.graphcanon.com/categories/developer-tools","markdown_url":"https://www.graphcanon.com/categories/developer-tools.md","api_url":"https://www.graphcanon.com/api/graphcanon/categories/developer-tools"}],"tags":[{"slug":"build-automation","name":"build-automation"},{"slug":"continuous-integration","name":"continuous-integration"},{"slug":"orchestration","name":"orchestration"}],"trust":{"provenance":{"is_fork":false,"github_id":93804681,"owner_type":"Organization","methodology":"github_public_v1","parent_repo":null,"near_duplicate_slugs":[]},"computed_at":"2026-09-18T06:00:48.450Z","maintenance":{"label":"Slowing","score":36,"methodology":"github_public_v1","releases_90d":0,"days_since_push":289,"last_release_at":"2025-12-02T09:58:36Z","stars_delta_30d":5,"open_issues_delta_30d":-1},"security_summary":{"status":"no_lockfile","scanner":null,"low_count":0,"high_count":0,"last_scan_at":"2026-07-15T10:51:04.980Z","medium_count":0,"scan_profile":"none","critical_count":0}},"capability_facts":{"scan":{"source":"repo_scan","observed_at":"2026-09-18T06:00:48.946Z"},"deploy":{"source":"dockerfile:Dockerfile","self_host":true,"observed_at":"2026-09-18T06:00:48.946Z","managed_saas":false},"languages":{"value":["c#"],"source":"github.language","observed_at":"2026-09-18T06:00:48.946Z"},"has_docker":{"value":true,"source":"dockerfile:Dockerfile","observed_at":"2026-09-18T06:00:48.946Z"},"license_spdx":{"value":"MIT","source":"github.license","observed_at":"2026-09-18T06:00:48.946Z"}},"decision_facts":{"hosting":null,"pricing":null,"requirements":{"notes":["No specific setup for Docker is required, but basic knowledge of C# and .NET is necessary."],"min_ram_gb":2,"requires_docker":false},"constraints":{"min_ram_gb":2,"requires_docker":false},"when_to_use":["When you are working with C#/ .NET projects and want a build system rooted in object-oriented programming, making it easier to develop, debug, and refactor.","If your team is already familiar with C# and desires consistent tooling across development and CI/CD pipeline creation.","In situations where automatic generation of YAML configurations for various CI services like GitHub Actions or GitLab CI aligns with your operational needs."],"when_not_to_use":["If the CI/CD infrastructure heavily relies on YAML file customization that is not covered by nuke's automated configuration generation capabilities.","For teams preferring build automation systems without a dependency on C#, as nuke exclusively leverages this programming language for automation scripts."],"source":"enrich:decision_facts","observed_at":"2026-07-17T09:12:30.760Z"},"constraint_facets":{"min_ram_gb":2,"requires_docker":false},"decision_summary":[{"label":"Requirements","value":"Min 2 GB RAM; No specific setup for Docker is required, but basic knowledge of C# and .NET is necessary."},{"label":"Adopt for","value":"nuke is an AKEless Build System for C#/.NET that uses OOP principles to create CI/CD pipelines without YAML files."}]}}
