Building with Ninja

• Install Ninja on your local machine:
  • On Ubuntu, run sudo apt-get update followed by sudo apt-get install ninja-build.
• Configure the project to use Ninja:
  • Ensure that the build script in your package.json is compatible with Ninja.
• Build the project using Ninja:
  • Run ninja in the project root directory to start the build process.
• Verify the Ninja installation locally:
  • Run ninja --version to check the installed version of Ninja.

Using Custom Build Rules and Actions

• Define custom build rules and actions in the jobs.build.steps section of build.yml.
• Use the run keyword to execute custom commands or scripts.
• Utilize existing GitHub Actions or create your own actions to perform custom tasks.
• Define environment variables in the jobs.build.steps section to control custom build rules.
• Use the env keyword to set environment variables that can be used in subsequent steps.
• Modify the build commands to use these environment variables for custom behavior.
• Use conditional statements in the jobs.build.steps section to execute custom build rules based on specific conditions.
• Utilize the if keyword to define conditions for executing particular steps.
• Combine conditionals with environment variables or custom scripts to create complex build rules.

Using Docker in the Build Process

• Add a step to set up Docker in the jobs.build.steps section of build.yml.
• Use the run keyword to execute Docker commands or scripts.
• Define environment variables in the jobs.build.steps section to control Docker-related tasks.
• Use the env keyword to set environment variables that can be used in subsequent steps.
• Modify the build commands to use these environment variables for Docker-related behavior.
• Use conditional statements in the jobs.build.steps section to execute Docker-related tasks based on specific conditions.
• Utilize the if keyword to define conditions for executing particular Docker steps.
• Combine conditionals with environment variables or custom scripts to create complex Docker-related build rules.
