This should be several commits due to changing how aliases and patterns are implemented, but back-porting these changes to the yaml ast to just throw it away is wasteful, so it's done all at once.
We will also be simplified a large part of the codebase in the near time, so many of these changes are patchwork to make things work.
Due to this, the guide also needs to be rewritten from scratch, and so was currently removed and will be added again eventually.

Zbuild

zbuild is a modern makefile-like build automation tool.

Guide

Zbuild uses a file to specify all rules. It will look for for the nearest zbuild.zb file in the current or parent directories.

Examples

See the examples/ directory for examples.

In particular the examples/simple_c/zbuild.zb is a fully documented example that helps you understand how zbuild works.

Watching

Zbuild can "watch" your build, re-running rules whenever files are updated. This can be activated with the --watch flag. See zbuild --help for more details.
