Pants: A fast, scalable build system







Pants is a build system designed for codebases that:

Are large and/or growing rapidly.

Consist of many subprojects that share a significant amount of code.

Have complex dependencies on third-party libraries.

Use a variety of languages, code generators and frameworks.





Pants supports Java, Scala, Python, C/C++, Go, Javascript/Node, Thrift, Protobuf and Android code. Adding support for other languages, frameworks and code generators is straightforward.

Pants is a collaborative open-source project, built and used by Twitter, Toolchain, Foursquare, Square, Medium and other companies.





If you are only using Python in your project, check out pants.readme.io/docs for documentation using the improved V2 implementation.
