NOTE: If you are looking at the source - please run build.bat before opening the solution. It creates the SolutionVersion.cs file that is necessary for a successful build.

UppercuT is a conventional automated .NET build framework (templated NAnt). UppercuT is the insanely easy to use build framework.

It seeks to solve both maintenance concerns and ease of build to help you concentrate on what you really want to do: write code. Upgrading the build should take seconds, not hours. And that is where UppercuT will beat any other automated build system hands down.

UppercuT uses conventions and has a simple configuration file for you to edit. Getting from zero to build takes literally less than five minutes. If you are still writing your own build scripts, you are working too hard.

UppercuT is extremely powerful because it is customizable and extendable. Every step of the build process is customizable with a pre, post and replace hook.

UppercuT is not a build server, but it integrates nicely with CruiseControl.NET, TeamCity, Hudson, etc.

You can download UppercuT from http://code.google.com/p/uppercut/downloads/list

You can also obtain a copy from the build server at http://teamcity.codebetter.com.

If you have Ruby 1.8.6+ (and Gems 1.3.7+) installed, you can get the current release of UppercuT to your machine the fastest!

1. Type 'gem install uppercutbuild'
2. At the top level directory (trunk or branch name) type 'uppercutbuild init' for bringing in uppercut for the first time or 'uppercutbuild upgrade' if you already uppercut and are just wanting to upgrade the build folder.

This is the best way to get to the bleeding edge of the code.

1. Clone the source down to your machine.
   git clone git://github.com/chucknorris/uppercut.git
2. Type cd uppercut
3. Type git config core.autocrlf false to set line endings to auto convert for this repository
4. Type git status. You should not see any files to change.
5. Run build.bat. NOTE: You must have git on the path (open a regular command line and type git).

• Source control on the command line and in PATH environment variable - svn for Subversion / tf for TFS / git for Git
