A collection of developer tools for working with Bazel build files, including buildifier for formatting BUILD files, buildozer for command-line editing of them, and unused_deps for finding unneeded Java dependencies. Written in Go and distributed as standalone CLI tools.

Use cases

  • format BUILD files in a standard style
  • automatically edit bazel BUILD file dependencies from the command line
  • find unused dependencies in java_library rules
  • lint bazel build files in CI
  • bulk-update bazel targets across a monorepo

When to choose

  • you use Bazel and want consistent, canonical formatting of BUILD files
  • you need to programmatically add, remove, or rename dependencies in BUILD files
  • you want to enforce build file style in pre-commit hooks or CI

When to avoid

  • your project does not use Bazel
  • you need a general-purpose formatter for languages other than Bazel files
