We recommend that you name your <code>sh_binary()</code> rules after the name of the script minus the extension (e.g. <code>.sh</code>); the rule name and the file name must be distinct. <code>sh_binary</code> respects shebangs, so any available interpreter may be used (eg. <code>#!/bin/zsh</code>) </p> <h4 id="sh_binary_examples">Example</h4> <p>For a simple shell script with no dependencies and some data files: </p> <pre class="code"> sh_binary( name = "foo", srcs = ["foo.sh"], data = glob(["datafiles/*.txt"]), ) </pre> <h3 id="sh_binary_args">Arguments</h3> <table class="table table-condensed table-bordered table-params"> <colgroup> <col class="col-param" /> <col class="param-description" /> </colgroup> <thead> <tr> <th colspan="2">Attributes</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td id="sh_binary.name"><code>name</code></td> <td> <p><a href="/versions/7.5.0/concepts/labels#target-names">Name</a>; required</p> <p>A unique name for this target.</p>

Such "libraries" can then be used from the <code>data</code> attribute of one or more <code>sh_binary</code> rules. </p> <p> You can use the <a href="/versions/7.5.0/reference/be/general.html#filegroup"><code>filegroup</code></a> rule to aggregate data files. </p> <p> In interpreted programming languages, there's not always a clear distinction between "code" and "data": after all, the program is just "data" from the interpreter's point of view. For this reason this rule has three attributes which are all essentially equivalent: <code>srcs</code>, <code>deps</code> and <code>data</code>. The current implementation does not distinguish between the elements of these lists. All three attributes accept rules, source files and generated files. It is however good practice to use the attributes for their usual purpose (as with other rules). </p> <h4 id="sh_library_examples">Examples</h4> <pre class="code"> sh_library( name = "foo", data = [ ":foo_service_script", # an sh_binary with srcs ":deploy_foo", # another sh_binary with srcs ], ) </pre> <h3 id="sh_library_args">Arguments</h3> <table class="table table-condensed table-bordered table-params"> <colgroup> <col class="col-param" /> <col class="param-description" /> </colgroup> <thead> <tr> <th colspan="2">Attributes</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td id="sh_library.name"><code>name</code></td> <td> <p><a href="/versions/7.5.0/concepts/labels#target-names">Name</a>; required</p> <p>A unique name for this target.</p>
