Less is More - a Build Pipeline for the Modern Age
summary
Build pipeline replaces heavy CI plug ins with a C# console app that defines a target dependency graph, runs shell commands via SimpleExec, and executes identical build and test steps locally and in GitHub Actions. Target library Bullseye targets powers dependencies like build → test, MinVer implements MinVer tag-based versioning to bake tag or commit-height versions into artifacts, and the demo shows cross‑platform builds and tests running reproducibly and quickly.
