04/12/2023, 4:34 PM@flaky-beard-52072: assuming that you’ve already read https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/environments , then yea: that’s probably the best reference on implementation. not completely up to date, but.

04/12/2023, 4:36 PMthe largest difference that i’m aware of is that multiple environments may be used concurrently in one Pants build, while in Bazel, the host and target platforms are global settings
