Provide a scripts folder (./<rootfoldername>/build/scripts)

You SHOULD store any scripts needed to assist with the build¹, by placing them in a 'scripts' subfolder. This offers a standard location for any others wishing to build your solution.

As well as build scripts, use the folder to store artefacts related to your continuous integration (CI) processes. While some CI systems require you place build artefacts in the root, placing other supporting files in the scripts folder avoids excessive cluttering.

When storing scripts, you SHOULD keep your scripts clean and with comments.

You SHOULD prefer using scripted solutions over build events whenever possible.

You SHOULD NOT break published conventions without considering how this impacts others.
