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:
- V2 version of Pants (Python only, for now): https://pants.readme.io/docs/welcome-to-pants
- V1 version of Pants: http://www.pantsbuild.org/
We release to PyPI
We use Travis CI to verify the build
To run Pants, you need:
- Linux or macOS.
- Python 3.6+ discoverable on your
PATH. - A C compiler, system headers, Python headers (to compile native Python modules) and the
libffilibrary and headers (to compile and link modules that use CFFI to access native code). - Internet access (so that Pants can fully bootstrap itself).
Additionally, if you use the JVM backend to work with Java or Scala code:
- OpenJDK or Oracle JDK version 8 or greater.
