Albacore v2.0 is a professional quality suite of Rake tasks for building .NET or Mono based systems. You can use our specialized tasks to create the build of your choice. You can jump right into the list of tasks by following the links on the right or follow this quick start for a guided tour.
Task types are the pre-built factories for rake tasks. They often take care of
what's slightly more complex, beyond just invoking commands. They are available
and methods in the DSL you get when you do require 'albacore'
Tasks are things you can include that create singleton ruby tasks that are pre-named and pre-made. As opposed to the task types, these are 'includeable'. More info can be found in the README.
Tools are auxilliary items in albacore. They do not have the same amount of testing and are more often one-off utilities. Most of these should be moved to being commands in an albacore binary.
