⚠️ Deprecation notice ⚠️

After a thorough review of Makes and other build system alternatives, Fluid Attacks has decided to transition fully to Nix Flakes for all our builds.

This decision brings significant benefits, including the opportunity to rely on and contribute to the incredible Nix community instead of maintaining our own build system.

It also means that Makes is no longer maintained and will be archived.

More information can be found at https://github.com/fluidattacks/makes/issues/1439.

🦄 Makes

A CI/CD framework powered by Nix.

![Makes demo]!(/docs/src/assets/demo.svg “Makes demo”)

Why

Ever needed to

• run applications locally to try out your code?
• Execute CI/CD pipelines locally to make sure jobs are being passed?
• Keep execution environments frozen for strict dependency control against supply chain attacks?
• Know the exact dependency tree of your application?

Well, we have!

What

Makes is an open-source, production-ready framework for building CI/CD pipelines and application environments.

It is

Attribute	Description
[]!(#secure)	Cryptographically signed dependencies for apps and CI/CD pipelines
[]!(#easy)	Can be installed with just one command and has dozens of generic CI/CD builtins
[]!(#fast)	Supports a distributed and completely granular cache
[]!(#portable)	Runs on Docker, VMs, and any Linux-based OS
[]!(#extensible)	can be extended to work with any technology
