Build System

A build system is a set of automated tools that compile, organize, and prepare software code for deployment or execution. It takes source files written by developers—like code, images, and settings—and processes them into a finished, runnable application. This typically involves tasks such as compiling code, managing dependencies, running tests, and packaging the software. The goal is to ensure the software is consistent, reliable, and ready for release with minimal manual effort. By automating these steps, a build system helps streamline development, reduces errors, and speeds up the delivery of software updates.
