+<p>To get started, download Mill from: <a href="https://github.com/lihaoyi/mill/releases/download/0.5.1/0.5.1-assembly">https://github.com/lihaoyi/mill/releases/download/0.5.1/0.5.1-assembly</a>, and save it as <code>mill.bat</code>.</p>
+<p>If you're using <a href="https://scoop.sh">Scoop</a> you can install Mill via</p>
+<pre style="background-color: #f8f8f8"><code style="white-space:pre; background-color: #f8f8f8" class="bash">scoop install mill

+<p>Mill also works on a sh environment on Windows (e.g., <a href="https://www.msys2.org">MSYS2</a>, <a href="https://www.cygwin.com">Cygwin</a>, <a href="https://gitforwindows.org">Git-Bash</a>, <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl">WSL</a>; to get started, follow the instructions in the <a href="#manual">manual</a> section below. Note that:</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>In some environments (such as WSL), mill might have to be run using interactive mode (<code>-i</code>)</p></li>
+ <li>
+ <p>On Cygwin, run the following after downloading mill:</p></li>
+</ul>

+</code></pre><h3 id="docker" class="Styles-hoverBox">Docker<a href="#docker" class=" Styles-hoverLink"><i class="fa fa-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></h3>
+<p>You can download and run a <a href="https://hub.docker.com/r/nightscape/scala-mill/">Docker image containing OpenJDK, Scala and Mill</a> using</p>
+<pre style="background-color: #f8f8f8"><code style="white-space:pre; background-color: #f8f8f8" class="bash">docker pull nightscape/scala-mill

+<p>To get started, download Mill and install it into your system via the following <code>curl</code>/<code>chmod</code> command:</p>
+<pre style="background-color: #f8f8f8"><code style="white-space:pre; background-color: #f8f8f8" class="bash">sudo curl -L https://github.com/lihaoyi/mill/releases/download/0.5.1/0.5.1 &gt; /usr/local/bin/mill &amp;&amp; sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/mill

+<p>If you are using Mill in a codebase, you can commit the bootstrap launcher as a <code>./mill</code> script in the project folder:</p>
+<pre style="background-color: #f8f8f8"><code style="white-space:pre; background-color: #f8f8f8" class="bash">curl -L https://github.com/lihaoyi/mill/releases/download/0.5.1/0.5.1 &gt; mill &amp;&amp; chmod +x mill
+</code></pre>
+<p>Now, anyone who wants to work with the project can simply use the <code>./mill</code> script directly:</p>
+<pre style="background-color: #f8f8f8"><code style="white-space:pre; background-color: #f8f8f8" class="bash">./mill version
+./mill __.compile
+</code></pre>
+<p>The <code>mill</code> command will automatically use the version specified by the bootstrap script, even if you installed it via other means. The <code>./mill</code> file has a version number embedded within it, which you can update simply by editing the script. Note this only works for versions 0.5.0 and above.</p>
+<p>Bootstrap scripts are also useful for running Mill in CI, ensuring that your Jenkins/Travis/etc. box has the correct version of Mill present to build/compile/test your code.</p><h2 id="getting-started" class="Styles-hoverBox">Getting Started<a href="#getting-started" class=" Styles-hoverLink"><i class="fa fa-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></h2>
+<p>The simplest Mill build for a Java project looks as follows:</p>
+<pre style="background-color: #f8f8f8"><code style="white-space:pre; background-color: #f8f8f8" class="scala">// build.sc
+import mill._, scalalib._
+
+object foo extends JavaModule {
+
+}
+</code></pre>
+<p>The simplest Mill build for a Scala project looks as follows:</p>
+<pre style="background-color: #f8f8f8"><code style="white-space:pre; background-color: #f8f8f8" class="scala">// build.sc
+import mill._, scalalib._
+
+object foo extends ScalaModule {
+ def scalaVersion = &quot;2.12.4&quot;
+}
+</code></pre>
+<p>Both of these would build a project laid out as follows:</p>
+<pre style="background-color: #f8f8f8"><code style="white-space:pre; background-color: #f8f8f8" class="">build.sc
+foo/
+ src/
+ FileA.java
+ FileB.scala
+ resources/
+ ...
+out/
+ foo/
+ ...
+</code></pre>
+<p>You can download an example project with this layout here:</p>
+<ul>
+ <li><a href="example-1.zip">Example 1</a></li>
+</ul>
+<p>The source code for this module would live in the <code>foo/src/</code> folder, matching the name you assigned to the module. Output for this module (compiled files, resolved dependency lists, ...) would live in <code>out/foo/</code>.</p>
+<p>This can be run from the Bash shell via:</p>
+<pre style="background-color: #f8f8f8"><code style="white-space:pre; background-color: #f8f8f8" class="bash">$ mill foo.compile # compile sources into classfiles
+
+$ mill foo.run # run the main method, if any
+
+$ mill foo.runBackground # run the main method in the background
+
+$ mill foo.launcher # prepares a foo/launcher/dest/run you can run later
+
+$ mill foo.jar # bundle the classfiles into a jar
+
+$ mill foo.assembly # bundle classfiles and all dependencies into a jar
+
+$ mill -i foo.console # start a Scala console within your project (in interactive mode: &quot;-i&quot;)
+
+$ mill -i foo.repl # start an Ammonite REPL within your project (in interactive mode: &quot;-i&quot;)
+</code></pre>
+<p>You can run <code>mill resolve __</code> to see a full list of the different tasks that are available, <code>mill resolve foo._</code> to see the tasks within <code>foo</code>, <code>mill inspect
+foo.compile</code> to inspect a task's doc-comment documentation or what it depends on, or <code>mill show foo.scalaVersion</code> to show the output of any task.</p>
+<p>The most common <strong>tasks</strong> that Mill can run are cached <strong>targets</strong>, such as <code>compile</code>, and un-cached <strong>commands</strong> such as <code>foo.run</code>. Targets do not re-evaluate unless one of their inputs changes, where-as commands re-run every time.</p><h2 id="output" class="Styles-hoverBox">Output<a href="#output" class=" Styles-hoverLink"><i class="fa fa-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></h2>
+<p>Mill puts all its output in the top-level <code>out/</code> folder. The above commands would end up in:</p>
+<pre style="background-color: #f8f8f8"><code style="white-space:pre; background-color: #f8f8f8" class="text">out/
+ foo/
+ compile/
+ run/
+ jar/
+ assembly/
+</code></pre>
+<p>Within the output folder for each task, there's a <code>meta.json</code> file containing the metadata returned by that task, and a <code>dest/</code> folder containing any files that the task generates. For example, <code>out/foo/compile/dest/</code> contains the compiled classfiles, while <code>out/foo/assembly/dest/</code> contains the self-contained assembly with the project's classfiles jar-ed up with all its dependencies.</p>
+<p>Given a task <code>foo.bar</code>, all its output and results can be found be within its respective <code>out/foo/bar/</code> folder.</p><h2 id="multiple-modules" class="Styles-hoverBox">Multiple Modules<a href="#multiple-modules" class=" Styles-hoverLink"><i class="fa fa-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></h2><h3 id="java-example" class="Styles-hoverBox">Java Example<a href="#java-example" class=" Styles-hoverLink"><i class="fa fa-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></h3>

+}
+object bar extends ScalaModule {
+ def moduleDeps = Seq(foo)
+ def scalaVersion = &quot;2.12.4&quot;
+}
+</code></pre>
+<p>You can define multiple modules the same way you define a single module, using <code>def moduleDeps</code> to define the relationship between them. The above builds expects the following project layout:</p>
+<pre style="background-color: #f8f8f8"><code style="white-space:pre; background-color: #f8f8f8" class="">build.sc
+foo/
+ src/
+ Main.scala
+ resources/
+ ...
+bar/
+ src/
+ Main2.scala
+ resources/
+ ...
+out/
+ foo/
+ ...
+ bar/
+ ...
+</code></pre>
+<p>And can be built/run using:</p>
+<pre style="background-color: #f8f8f8"><code style="white-space:pre; background-color: #f8f8f8" class="bash">$ mill foo.compile
+$ mill bar.compile
+
+$ mill foo.run
+$ mill bar.run
+
+$ mill foo.jar
+$ mill bar.jar
+
+$ mill foo.assembly
+$ mill bar.assembly
+</code></pre>
+<p>Mill's evaluator will ensure that the modules are compiled in the right order, and re-compiled as necessary when source code in each module changes.</p>
+<p>Modules can also be nested:</p>
+<pre style="background-color: #f8f8f8"><code style="white-space:pre; background-color: #f8f8f8" class="scala">// build.sc

+<p>By default, Mill does not print out the metadata from evaluating a task. Most people would not be interested in e.g. viewing the metadata related to incremental compilation: they just want to compile their code! However, if you want to inspect the build to debug problems, you can make Mill show you the metadata output for a task using the <code>show</code> command:</p>
+<p>All tasks return values that can be <code>show</code>n, not just configuration values. e.g. <code>compile</code> returns that path to the <code>classes</code> and <code>analysisFile</code> that are produced by the compilation:</p>

+<p>The two most common things to do once your code is complete is to make an assembly (e.g. for deployment/installation) or publishing (e.g. to Maven Central). Mill comes with both capabilities built in.</p>
+<p>Mill comes built-in with the ability to make assemblies. Given a simple Mill build:</p>
+<pre style="background-color: #f8f8f8"><code style="white-space:pre; background-color: #f8f8f8" class="scala">// build.sc
+import mill._, scalalib._
+
+object foo extends ScalaModule {

+<pre style="background-color: #f8f8f8"><code style="white-space:pre; background-color: #f8f8f8" class="bash">$ mill foo.assembly
+
+$ ls -lh out/foo/assembly/dest/out.jar
+-rw-r--r-- 1 lihaoyi staff 5.0M Feb 17 11:14 out/foo/assembly/dest/out.jar
+</code></pre>
+<p>You can then move the <code>out.jar</code> file anywhere you would like, and run it standalone using <code>java</code>:</p>
+<pre style="background-color: #f8f8f8"><code style="white-space:pre; background-color: #f8f8f8" class="bash">$ java -cp out/foo/assembly/dest/out.jar foo.Example
+Hello World!
+</code></pre>
+<p>To publish to Maven Central, you need to make <code>foo</code> also extend Mill's <code>PublishModule</code> trait:</p>
+<pre style="background-color: #f8f8f8"><code style="white-space:pre; background-color: #f8f8f8" class="scala">// build.sc
+import mill._, scalalib._, publish._

+ Developer(&quot;lihaoyi&quot;, &quot;Li Haoyi&quot;,&quot;https://github.com/lihaoyi&quot;)
+ )
+ )
+}
+</code></pre>
+<p>You can change the name of the published artifact (artifactId in the Maven POM) by overriding <code>artifactName</code> in the module you want to publish.</p>
+<p>You can download an example project with this layout here:</p>
+<ul>
+ <li><a href="example-2.zip">Example 2</a></li>
+</ul>
+<p>Which you can then publish using the <code>mill foo.publish</code> command, which takes your sonatype credentials (e.g. <code>lihaoyi:foobarbaz</code>) and GPG password as inputs:</p>
+<pre style="background-color: #f8f8f8"><code style="white-space:pre; background-color: #f8f8f8" class="bash">$ mill foo.publish

+ --gpgKeyName String (default null)
+ --signed Boolean (default true)
+ --release Boolean
+</code></pre>
+<p>You also need to specify <code>release</code> as <code>true</code> or <code>false</code>, depending on whether you just want to stage your module on <code>oss.sonatype.org</code> or you want Mill to complete the release process to Maven Central.</p>
+<p>If you are publishing multiple artifacts, you can also use <code>mill mill.scalalib.PublishModule/publishAll</code> as described <a href="http://www.lihaoyi.com/mill/page/common-project-layouts.html#publishing">here</a></p><h2 id="structure-of-the-out-folder" class="Styles-hoverBox">Structure of the <code>out/</code> folder<a href="#structure-of-the-out-folder" class=" Styles-hoverLink"><i class="fa fa-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></h2>
+<p>The <code>out/</code> folder contains all the generated files &amp; metadata for your build. It is structured with one folder per <code>Target</code>/<code>Command</code>, that is run, e.g.:</p>
+<ul>
+ <li><code>out/core/compile/</code></li>
+ <li><code>out/main/test/compile/</code></li>
+ <li><code>out/main/test/forkTest/</code></li>
+ <li><code>out/scalalib/compile/</code></li>
+</ul>
+<p>There are also top-level build-related files in the <code>out/</code> folder, prefixed as <code>mill-*</code>. The most useful is <code>mill-profile.json</code>, which logs the tasks run and time taken for the last Mill command you executed. This is very useful if you want to find out exactly what tasks are being run and Mill is being slow.</p>
+<p>Each folder currently contains the following files:</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ <p><code>dest/</code>: a path for the <code>Task</code> to use either as a scratch space, or to place generated files that are returned using <code>PathRef</code>s. <code>Task</code>s should only output files within their given <code>dest/</code> folder (available as <code>T.ctx().dest</code>) to avoid conflicting with other <code>Task</code>s, but files within <code>dest/</code> can be named arbitrarily.</p></li>
+ <li>
+ <p><code>log</code>: the <code>stdout</code>/<code>stderr</code> of the <code>Task</code>. This is also streamed to the console during evaluation.</p></li>
+ <li>
+ <p><code>meta.json</code>: the cache-key and JSON-serialized return-value of the <code>Target</code>/<code>Command</code>. The return-value can also be retrieved via <code>mill show
+ core.compile</code>. Binary blobs are typically not included in <code>meta.json</code>, and instead stored as separate binary files in <code>dest/</code> which are then referenced by <code>meta.json</code> via <code>PathRef</code>s</p></li>
+</ul>
+<p>The <code>out/</code> folder is intentionally kept simplistic and user-readable. If your build is not behaving as you would expect, feel free to poke around the various <code>dest/</code> folders to see what files are being created, or the <code>meta.json</code> files to see what is being returned by a particular task. You can also simply delete folders within <code>out/</code> if you want to force portions of your project to be re-built, e.g. deleting the <code>out/main/</code> or <code>out/main/test/compile/</code> folders.</p><h2 id="overriding-mill-versions" class="Styles-hoverBox">Overriding Mill Versions<a href="#overriding-mill-versions" class=" Styles-hoverLink"><i class="fa fa-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></h2>

+
+or
+</code></pre>
+<p>MILL_VERSION=0.5.0-3-4faefb ./mill __.compile ```</p>
+<p>to override the Mill version manually. This takes precedence over the version specified in <code>./mill</code> or <code>.mill-version</code></p>
