--target_pattern_file
could be a great tool assisting migration of acode base from one Bazel config to another. User could define a list of
targets that can be built with the new configs and incrementally expand
that list with each change that was introduced. Multiple users / teams
could collaborate on such migration by adding / removing their targets
into / from the pattern file.
Having the ability to provide comments to annotate the targets in the
pattern file with extra information during the migration process added a
great value and context for build maintainers to track migration
progress.
Add support for Bash-style comments to the target-pattern file.
Closes #15903.
