About Earthly

Earthly is a build automation tool that makes builds reproducible across laptops and CI runners. It uses Earthfiles, a Dockerfile-inspired format for composing builds, tests, artifacts, and images.

Developers choose Earthly when Makefiles become fragile and CI YAML becomes hard to reuse. It gives polyglot teams a clean way to share build steps without depending on one CI provider.
