BST-BUILD(1)

💖 BST BUILD(1) — the bst build manual, bestie edition 💖

okay so you opened the bst build man page (that's section 1 of the manual, for the record) and honestly? slay. let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

bst-build — build elements in a pipeline, fr fr 🛠️✨

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

bst build [OPTIONS] [ELEMENTS]...

like. that's it. that's the whole vibe. options, then elements, go 👑

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Build elements in a pipeline. simple sentence, huge energy 💅

so here's the tea, bestie — if you don't name any elements at all, it's gonna build the default targets of the project. and if the project has no default targets configured? it just builds all the project elements. no cap, everything. 🫶

and listen — when you run this command from inside a workspace directory, the default is to build the workspace element. that's just what it does. iykyk 🌈

now, wanna control which dependencies have to get built? that's what --deps is for, and she takes these values:

• none: no dependencies, just the element itself 🙈
• build: build time dependencies, excluding the element itself 🧚
• all: all dependencies 👑

and btw — dependencies that are consequently required to build the elements you asked for? those get built on demand. the pipeline is doing the most so you don't have to 💖

---
