bazel: Build the specified target in the workspace.
$ bazel build ${target}
try on your machine
The command "bazel build ${target}" is typically used in a Bazel build system. Let's break down the different components:
- "bazel": This refers to the Bazel build system, which provides a platform for building and testing software.
- "build": This is a command in Bazel that instructs it to build the specified target(s).
- "${target}": This is a placeholder for the actual target that you want to build. The target could be a specific file, a package, or a rule defined in the BUILD file of your project.
By running the command "bazel build ${target}", Bazel will analyze the dependencies of the specified target and compile or build the necessary files to generate the desired output. The output could be an executable, a library, or any other artifacts defined in your project.
For example, if you have a target named "my_app" that corresponds to a binary file defined in your project, running "bazel build my_app" will compile the necessary source files, resolve dependencies, and generate the executable for your application.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
