Welcome to the Albacore project.

Albacore is intended to be a professional quality suite of Rake tasks to help automate the process of building a .NET based system. All tasks are built using a test-first approach through rspec, and all tests are included in the Albacore gem.

How To Install Albacore

Please see the readme file on the main Albacore github page for instructions on how to install the latest stable version or the latest source code.

How To Use Albacore
