I find that Bazel is pretty handy for C++ programming and this repository contains some sample code about Bazel during the learning process.

It can be used as a template for later development.

Go to https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/releases and download a .sh file for the corresponding platform.

For example,

wget https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/releases/download/0.20.0/bazel-0.20.0-installer-darwin-x86_64.sh
chmod +x bazel-0.20.0-installer-darwin-x86_64.sh
./bazel-0.20.0-installer-darwin-x86_64.sh --user
export PATH=$HOME/bin:${PATH}

To view the current version, run bazel version.

When bazel is installed to $HOME/bin, a file named bazel-complete.bash is installed to $HOME/.bazel/bin simultaneously.

Add the following line to $HOME/.bash_profile (macOS) or to $HOME/.bashrc (Linux):

source $HOME/.bazel/bin/bazel-complete.bash

Refer to https://github.com/bazelbuild/buildtools/blob/master/buildifier/README.md.

A quick guide is as follows:

go get github.com/bazelbuild/buildtools/buildifier
cd $HOME/go/src/github.com/bazelbuild/buildtools/buildifier
bazel build //buildifier
export PATH=$HOME/go/bin:${PATH}
