Welcome to the Invoke-Build wiki!

Invoke-Build.ps1 (engine) and Invoke-Builds.ps1 (parallel engine) are build and test automation tools implemented as PowerShell scripts. They invoke tasks from scripts written in PowerShell with domain-specific language. Build flow and concepts are similar to MSBuild. Scripts are similar to psake but look more like usual due to standard script parameters and script scope variables.
