What is sbt?
sbt (Scala Build Tool) is a build tool designed for Scala and Java projects. It allows developers to define tasks in Scala and run them in parallel from an interactive shell. sbt is known for its incremental compilation feature, which updates only the parts of the project that have changed, saving time and improving efficiency. It supports a wide range of plugins for tasks like packaging, releasing, and deploying software. sbt is highly configurable and extensible, making it suitable for projects of all sizes, from small applications to large, complex systems.
