Automate Builds without TFS

I have a large c# project that depends on a number of other projects.

I'd like to create\use a build automation script of sorts.

The process would look something like:

 - Clone project X from Git, run unit tests, compile. 
 - Clone project Y from Git, run unit tests, compile. 
 - Clone project Z from Git, run unit tests, compile.

Project Z depends on Y and Y depends on X.

I'm aware that Team Foundation Server does much of this, but I'm looking for a lighter solution.

What are the open source alternatives to TFS?

Solution

  • Look at teamcity. Much easier to use. We migrated our builds from TFS to teamcity. It's free for upto 3 build agents and 20 build configurations (which is good enough for mid level teams) but the Enterprise version is not that expensive too.

    Jenkins is another option too.
