🎯 Targets

This page describes the main build targets available in the Forge system for Docker and Node.js projects.

🛠️ Forge (Generic) Targets

🏗️ Build: Runs the main build process for the selected project type (Docker, Node, etc.), depending on your command-line arguments.
📝 ChangeLog: Generates or updates the project changelog based on recent commits.

This diagram shows the order in which the Forge (Generic) targets are executed:

🏗️ Build: Builds the Docker image, orchestrating all Docker-related steps.
🚀 CreateRelease: Creates a GitHub release for the built Docker image (if enabled and configured).
📤 Push: Pushes the built Docker image(s) to the configured container registry.
🏷️ Tag: Tags the Docker image with the appropriate version and latest tags.
🖼️ Image: Runs the actual Docker build command to produce the image.

This diagram shows the order in which the Docker build targets are executed:

🏗️ Build: Runs the full Node.js build pipeline, including environment generation, application build, and artifact copying.
📦 CopyToArtifacts: Copies the built Node.js application and related files to the artifacts directory.
🛠️ BuildApplication: Executes the Node.js build process (e.g., npm run build).
🌱 GenerateEnvironment: Generates the environment file from your mapping configuration, ensuring all required variables are set.
🧹 Clean: Cleans the artifacts directory and prepares the workspace for a fresh build.
