The build commandlet is an abstraction of build systems like maven, gradle, yarn, npm, etc.
It will auto-detect your build-system (via existence of files like pom.xml, package.json, etc.). According to this detection, it will simply delegate to the according commandlet of the specific build system. If that build-system is not yet available it will be downloaded and installed automatically.
So devon build allows users to build any project without bothering about the build-system. Further specific build options can be configured per project. This makes devon build a universal part of every definition of done. Before pushing your changes, please always run the following command to verify the build:
devon build
You may also supply additional arguments as devon build «args». This will simply delegate these arguments to the detected build command (e.g. call mvn «args»).
