Bazel, Windows: sh_binary now builds a .cmd file On Linux/MacOS, sh_binary creates an output file with the same name as the rule. The file is a symlink pointing to the main script of the rule (sh_binary.srcs only allows one file.) On Windows sh_binary also creates an output file called the same as the rule, but it's a copy of the main script file (due to lack of symlink support on Windows). However the rule now also creates the <rulename>.cmd output, which is a wrapper script similar to the java_binary-generated launcher. If however the sh_binary rule's name ends with ".exe", ".cmd", or ".bat", and its main file also ends with the same extension, then sh_binary will not create the launcher .cmd file, and will copy the main file to the output tree instead.

{Fast, Correct} - Choose two
Bazel is a build tool that builds code quickly and reliably. It is used to build the majority of Google‘s software, and thus it has been designed to handle build problems present in Google’s development environment, including:
A massive, shared code repository, in which all software is built from source. Bazel has been built for speed, using both caching and parallelism to achieve this. Bazel is critical to Google's ability to continue to scale its software development practices as the company grows.
An emphasis on automated testing and releases. Bazel has been built for correctness and reproducibility, meaning that a build performed on a continuous build machine or in a release pipeline will generate bitwise-identical outputs to those generated on a developer's machine.
Language and platform diversity. Bazel's architecture is general enough to support many different programming languages within Google, and can be used to build both client and server software targeting multiple architectures from the same underlying codebase.
