sbt: Start a REPL (interactive shell).
$ sbt
try on your machine
The command sbt
stands for Simple Build Tool. It is a popular build tool for Scala projects, used to compile, test, and manage dependencies for Scala-based applications.
When you run sbt
in the command line, it starts the sbt shell, which provides a command-line interface for interacting with the build tool. You can use several commands within the sbt shell to perform various tasks:
compile
: Compiles the source code of your project.test
: Runs the tests written for your project.run
: Executes your project's main class.clean
: Cleans the compiled output and generated files.reload
: Reloads the build definitions and dependencies.package
: Creates a distributable package (such as a JAR file) for your project.dependencyTree
: Displays a tree-like structure of your project's dependencies.exit
: Quits the sbt shell.
These are just a few examples of commonly used sbt commands. You can explore and configure more commands based on your project's requirements.
