Now we have the minimum to build "nothing" with Bazel. So you need to install Bazel'cli. But I recommend you to install bazelisk, it will take care of installing the latest (or the project specific) version of Bazel. In the following articles, codes when you'll see bazel ... it could also be replaced by bazelisk ... (in fact some packaging of Bazel installs bazelisk and create an alias). For this step use your favorite way (distribution package system, download from github, homebrew,...).
That's all for this serie's introduction. Thanks for reading until the end, sorry for this first non-technical post. The sandbox_bazel will be hosted on github, use tag to have the expected view at end of article: intro
Bazel is a build tool with a growing popularity, maybe the one I'm looking for (I tried to create my own few years ago). So I read part of its documentation, viewed some talks from introduction to more advanced subjects (BazelCon, Bazel Days,...). I also played a little with it and tried to use it on a "real" project. This serie of articles collects my notes (present and future), my fights, my fails, and I hope my success during my exploration and learn of Bazel.
