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It also means that Makes is no longer maintained and will be archived.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

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!
