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/
