#### Cake (C# Make) is a cross platform build automation system.

Cake (C# Make) is a cross-platform build automation system with a C# DSL
for tasks such as compiling code, copying files and folders, running unit
tests, compressing files and building NuGet packages.

This snap exposes the Cake .NET tool as the `dotnet-cake` command, matching
the upstream tool command name. It does not include Cake Frosting or the
Cake SDK.
