Earthly is a build tool using a Dockerfile-inspired syntax to define reproducible builds. An Earthfile describes targets (build steps), each running in a container. Targets can depend on other targets, and Earthly orchestrates their execution with caching. Unlike Makefiles (shell-based) or Bash scripts, Earthly ensures consistency across machines: a build that works on your laptop works identically in CI.
