The C# task runner.

Bau is a community driven, cross platform, pluggable task runner built on the scriptcs + NuGet ecosystem.

The core Bau library is a script pack providing task definition, dependencies between tasks and task running.

Extensions are provided by plugins, taking advantage of Bau's modular, pluggable architecture.

Task definition

// baufile.csx
Require<Bau>().Do(() => Console.WriteLine("Hello world!")).Run();

Dependencies between tasks

// baufile.csx
string message;

Require<Bau>()
    .DependsOn("world")
    .Do(() => Console.WriteLine(message))
.Task("world")
    .DependsOn("hello")
    .Do(() => message += " world!")
.Task("hello")
    .Do(() => message = "Hello")
.Run();

Tasks can be defined in any order, can depend on any number of other tasks DependsOn("foo", "bar"), can be referenced multiple times with multiple calls to Task("baz") and can have multiple actions assigned to them with multiple calls to Do().
