Unpopular opinion: CI/CD engines are an awful idea
This is why 90-99% of our builds are done with Cake. It isolates all of it and you can run the build locally if you want.

Cake : A C23 to C99 transpiler
I don't think it will get too much confusion, but there is a build system called Cake: https://cakebuild.net/

Achieving single command Infrastructure deployment using PowerShell DSC.
You may use other tools too: psake, make, cake, fake or any other *ake you are familiar with. I look at them as a tools that make build tasks behind simple commands and help me answer: How did I run that code again?

.NET build tool using Bullseye and SimpleExec
NAnt was quite a popular build tool used by projects of all sizes targeting .NET Framework on Windows. I have written many complex build systems using NAnt in the past. But XML based DSL was quite clunky to use and maintain. Besides, it was always a daunting task to explain to a new dev on the team. With .NET Core/.NET becoming a cross-platform framework, CAKE and FAKE gained a lot of adoption providing a C# and F# based DSL for build tasks accordingly.

Nuke Build - best build automation system
Cake (C# Make) - simple, easy to set up, and with a lot of extensions scripting with C#.

Can Cake be used to build a .NET Core 3.1 console application for Windows, Linux and Mac... on a Windows machine?
I got the example and the answer I needed on this thread: https://github.com/cake-build/cake/discussions/3564

Creating reusable build scripts with NUKE components
For those not familiar with it, Cake is a build automation system with a C#-based DSL. It is based on the concept of tasks, which are small units of work, like restoring packages, building, or testing, which can have dependencies on, or trigger, other tasks.

A super simple make wrapper for docker/podman that runs all your targets in a container - just a utility I put together to make my life slightly easier, nothing fancy
Just a note: there's already a very active community of the same name for the build utility Cake.

A stupid simple make wrapper that makes my life easier
Looks interesting! Although the name clashes with Cake (C# Make) project which could be confusing - https://cakebuild.net/

Show HN: Xc – A Markdown Defined Task Runner
To the extent that posts like these evolve into discussing the merits of Make as a task runner, I would like to offer my tool for review:
* https://github.com/TekWizely/run
I built it to feel like make, but be better at managing tasks and wrappers.
If you are evaluating task runners and appreciate the simplicity of Make's syntax, I hope you'll give Run a try.

Just: A Command Runner
I invite you take a look at Run, a similar tool that I maintain:
* https://github.com/TekWizely/run
Support for including other Runfiles was recently introduced, with support for globbing and the ability to indicate if an error should be generated if no files are found.

DevOps Is Bullshit
Unrelated to this topic, I invite you take a look at my project which a tool purpose-built to be a better version of what your makefile became:
Run: Task runner that helps you easily manage and invoke small scripts and wrappers
https://github.com/TekWizely/run
Defining commands feels like make, but comes with a bunch of extras targeted at the needs of a task-runner.
I hope you'll check it out!

sd – a cozy nest for your scripts
This looks like an interesting way to manage scripts globally. I could even see it able to manage n-sub-commands deep (vs usual "command sub-command" - maybe it already does?) by just trying to resolve each argument as a dir until you find a script to execute.
If you're interested in ways to better-manage small scripts and wrappers more locally, please take a look at my project, Run:
