Buildkite SDK for C#

NuGet License: MIT

A C# SDK for Buildkite that makes it easy to generate dynamic pipeline configurations programmatically.

Installation

dotnet add package Buildkite.Sdk

Quick Start

using Buildkite.Sdk;
using Buildkite.Sdk.Schema;

var pipeline = new Pipeline();

pipeline.AddStep(new CommandStep
{

});

pipeline.AddStep(new WaitStep());

pipeline.AddStep(new CommandStep
{
    Label = ":test_tube: Test",
    Command = "dotnet test"
});

// Output as YAML for `buildkite-agent pipeline upload`
Console.WriteLine(pipeline.ToYaml());
