About

The dxa-suite repository contains tools and scripts required to build all DXA repositories and package up the artifacts from each repository into a form that is releasable or easy to install.

The main script 'build-repositories.ps1' lets you clone/build all the repositories given a specified branch name, tag with a version number and generate all artifacts in the /artifacts folder.

e.g,

PS> .\build-repositories -version 2.2.9.0 -buildType java

Default behavior

• the dxa-model-service will not be part of the final artifact unless -buildModelService $true is present

The generated artifacts will be output into an /artifacts folder with the following structure:

/artifacts
    /dotnet
        /cis
            Model service (standalone, in-process)
        /cms
