README

Pants Build System

Pants is a scalable build system for monorepos: codebases containing multiple projects, often using multiple programming languages and frameworks, in a single unified code repository.

Some noteworthy features include:

Explicit dependency modeling.
Fine-grained invalidation.
Shared result caching.
Concurrent execution.
Remote execution.
Unified interface for multiple tools and languages.
Extensibility and customizability via a plugin API.

Documentation: www.pantsbuild.org.
