- zb runs every build step in a lightweight sandbox
4848
with limited environment variables and filesystem access
4949
to reduce the likelihood of unexpected dependencies.
50+
The sandbox doesn't rely on containers or virtual machines,
51+
so zb works even in restricted continuous integration (CI) environments.
5052
- zb stores builds artifacts as plain files and directories.
51-
zb doesn't use containers or virtual machines,
5253
so you can run development tools and build artifacts
5354
directly from zb's store.
5455
This means you can point your IDE to use the exact compiler or intepreter
5556
that your build is using, for example.
57+
It also means that zb's build artifacts can be copied directly into a container or virtual machine image
58+
without fuss.
5659
- zb stores all build artifacts and source code in [content-addressable storage][].
5760
The name of a build directory includes a [hash][] of all its contents,
5861
so it's easy to see at a glance whether two versions of a dependency are the same.
