Creed Coming Mid-July 2026 Build System

Creed

Your entire C++ toolchain, in a couple of binaries.

Overview

Creed is a self-contained C++ build system: a CMake-compatible generator, GN, and SCons for configuration, with LLVM and Ninja for builds, packaged into a couple of binaries. Nothing installs system-wide and nothing depends on what is already on the machine, so the toolchain that builds your project on one computer builds it the same way on the next.

Key Features

What to expect from Creed at launch.

Everything Included

A CMake-compatible generator, GN, and SCons for configuration, plus LLVM and Ninja for builds. Nothing installs separately.

Just a Couple of Binaries

The toolchain ships as self-contained binaries you copy onto a machine. No installer, no registry entries, no global state.

Configure, Build, Lint, Profile

One CLI covers the full workflow with creed-configure, creed-build, creed-lint, and creed-profile.

Pinned & Reproducible

Every tool version is pinned, so the same inputs produce the same outputs on every machine, with no version drift between developers or CI.

Coming Mid-July 2026

Creed is in active development. Get in touch and we’ll let you know the moment it’s available.

Creed bundles LLVM, Ninja, GN, SCons, and CMake-compatible tooling, with thanks to their respective open-source communities.
