FAKE + Paket – PowerTools for .NET Developers
summary
Shows a concrete FAKE (F# Make) build script that wires targets, runs the compiler and test runner, and produces releases, demonstrating how FAKE’s F# DSL encodes dependencies and pipeline steps so builds are scriptable and reproducible. Demonstrates Paket for dependency resolution, covering Paket lockfile and pinning, NuGet vs GitHub package references, and pushing packages with release notes, and presents an end-to-end CI pipeline with adoption/download numbers.
