Overview

Gazelle is a BUILD file generator for Bazel projects. It can create new BUILD.bazel files for a project that follows language conventions, and it can update existing build files to include new sources, dependencies, and options.

Gazelle natively supports Go and protobuf.

Gazelle may be run by Bazel using the gazelle rule:

bazel run //:gazelle

Alternatively, it may be installed and run as a command line tool.

Aside from generating BUILD files for the local source code, Gazelle can also generate build files for external repositories as part of the go_repository rule.

Use Cases

Example:

bazel run //:gazelle -- update-repos golang.org/x/sys@v0.13.0

adds the following line to the WORKSPACE file:

go_repository(
    name = "org_golang_x_sys",
    importpath = "golang.org/x/sys",
    sum = "h1:Af8nKPmuFypiUBjVoU9V20FiaFXOcuZI21p0ycVYYGE=",
    version = "v0.13.0",
)
