make-- Compiles and runs Ghost directly through Gomake build-- Builds Ghost for macOS, Linux, WASM, and Windowsmake build-mac-- Builds Ghost for macOSmake build-linus-- Builds Ghost for Linuxmake build-wasm-- Builds Ghost for WASMmake build-windows-- Builds Ghost for Windowsmake test-- Runs all of Ghost's testsmake clean-- Cleans the distribution directory
Versioning Scheme
Ghost and its other first-party packages follow Semantic Versioning. In short, Semantic Versioning follows these simple rules:
Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:
- MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes,
- MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards compatible manner, and
- PATCH version when you make backwards compatible bug fixes.
Additional labels for pre-release and build metadata are available as extensions to the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format.
