# Build with Bazel
Building with bazel is currently experimental. Automanaged BUILD rules have the
tag "automanaged" and are maintained by
[gazel](https://github.com/mikedanese/gazel). Instructions for installing bazel
can be found [here](https://www.bazel.io/versions/master/docs/install.html).
To build docker images for the components, run:
```
$ bazel build //build-tools/...
```
To run many of the unit tests, run:
```
$ bazel test //cmd/... //build-tools/... //pkg/... //federation/... //plugin/...
```
To update automanaged build files, run:
```
$ ./hack/update-bazel.sh
```
To update a single build file, run:
```
$ # get gazel
$ go get -u github.com/mikedanese/gazel
$ # .e.g. ./pkg/kubectl/BUILD
$ gazel ./pkg/kubectl
```
Updating BUILD file for a package will be required when:
* Files are added to or removed from a package
* Import dependencies change for a package
