Use as a project

In the example below, replace MyProject with your root namespace(s).

Create a folder and a new console project in your solution directory.

mkdir MyProject.Build

dotnet new console -lang F# -o MyProject.Build

dotnet sln add MyProject.Build

Add a nuget reference to FsMake

// using paket
dotnet paket add --project MyProject.Build FsMake

// using nuget
dotnet add MyProject.Build package FsMake

Open MyProject.Build/Program.fs and replace its contents with:

open FsMake

[<EntryPoint>]
let main argv =
    let restore =
        Step.create "restore" {
            do! Cmd.createWithArgs "dotnet" [ "restore" ] |> Cmd.run
        }

    let build =
        Step.create "build" {
            do! Cmd.createWithArgs "dotnet" [ "build" ] |> Cmd.run
        }

    Pipelines.create {
        let! build =
            Pipeline.create "build" {
                run restore
                run build
            }

        default_pipeline build
    }
    |> Pipelines.runWithArgs argv

To run your build:

dotnet run --project MyProject.Build --
