Bzl

Bzl is a CLI and UI for the [bazel] build tool that provides a premium bazel experience to get the most out of your bazel investment.

Getting Started

Get started with bzl by downloading a release or running an installer:

Linux, Mac

curl -fLSs https://get.bzl.io/install.sh | bash

Windows

curl -fLSs https://get.bzl.io/install.ps1 | iex

Features

  • Bazel Repository List: visually browse bazel repositories on your workstation.

  • Repository Browser: explore the target graph and bazel rules without having to compose or parse bazel queries manually.

  • Realtime Build Event Protocol: build & test and observe the build event protocol in real time.

  • Sharable Build Results: generate sharable links for your build & test invocations. Push results either to a privately-hosted bzl instance or to the cloud at https://results.bzl.io.

  • Dependency Tools: automatically generate repository rules from github repositories.

  • Codesearch: quickly find files within the universe of files in your build graph.

  • IDE Integration: quickly jump to files and open references in your IDE.

Pronunciation

bzl is pronounced like 'bezel', as in "the bezel of a watch". The name invokes it's function (a wrapper around bazel).

In the 1950s, watchmakers realized that an external bezel was the best way to add functions to a watch without complicating the movement, and so the external watch bezel was born.
