+# Quickstart: Building with Bazel
+
+This tutorial aims to get you up and running with GoogleTest using the Bazel
+build system. If you're using GoogleTest for the first time or need a refresher,
+we recommend this tutorial as a starting point.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+To complete this tutorial, you'll need:
+
+*   A compatible operating system (e.g. Linux, macOS, Windows).
+*   A compatible C++ compiler that supports at least C++11.
+*   [Bazel](https://bazel.build/), the preferred build system used by the
+    GoogleTest team.
+
+See [Supported Platforms](platforms.md) for more information about platforms
+compatible with GoogleTest.
+
+If you don't already have Bazel installed, see the
+[Bazel installation guide](https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/install.html).
+
+{: .callout .note}
+Note: The terminal commands in this tutorial show a Unix shell prompt, but the
+commands work on the Windows command line as well.
+
+## Set up a Bazel workspace
+
+A
+[Bazel workspace](https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/build-ref.html#workspace)
+is a directory on your filesystem that you use to manage source files for the
+software you want to build. Each workspace directory has a text file named
+`WORKSPACE` which may be empty, or may contain references to external
+dependencies required to build the outputs.
+
+First, create a directory for your workspace:
+
+```
+$ mkdir my_workspace && cd my_workspace
+```
+
+Next, you’ll create the `WORKSPACE` file to specify dependencies. A common and
+recommended way to depend on GoogleTest is to use a
+[Bazel external dependency](https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/external.html)
+via the
+[`http_archive` rule](https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/repo/http.html#http_archive).
+To do this, in the root directory of your workspace (`my_workspace/`), create a
+file named `WORKSPACE` with the following contents:
+
+```
+load("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:http.bzl", "http_archive")
+
+http_archive(
+  name = "com_google_googletest",
+  urls = ["https://github.com/google/googletest/archive/609281088cfefc76f9d0ce82e1ff6c30cc3591e5.zip"],
+  strip_prefix = "googletest-609281088cfefc76f9d0ce82e1ff6c30cc3591e5",
+)
+```
+
+The above configuration declares a dependency on GoogleTest which is downloaded
+as a ZIP archive from GitHub. In the above example,
+`609281088cfefc76f9d0ce82e1ff6c30cc3591e5` is the Git commit hash of the
+GoogleTest version to use; we recommend updating the hash often to point to the
+latest version.
+
+Bazel also needs a dependency on the
+[`rules_cc` repository](https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_cc) to build C++
+code, so add the following to the `WORKSPACE` file:
+
+```
+http_archive(
+  name = "rules_cc",
+  urls = ["https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_cc/archive/40548a2974f1aea06215272d9c2b47a14a24e556.zip"],
+  strip_prefix = "rules_cc-40548a2974f1aea06215272d9c2b47a14a24e556",
+)
+```
+
+Now you're ready to build C++ code that uses GoogleTest.
+
+## Create and run a binary
+
+With your Bazel workspace set up, you can now use GoogleTest code within your
+own project.
+
+As an example, create a file named `hello_test.cc` in your `my_workspace`
+directory with the following contents:
+
+```cpp
+#include <gtest/gtest.h>
+
+// Demonstrate some basic assertions.
+TEST(HelloTest, BasicAssertions) {
+  // Expect two strings not to be equal.
+  EXPECT_STRNE("hello", "world");
+  // Expect equality.
+  EXPECT_EQ(7 * 6, 42);
+}
+```
+
+GoogleTest provides [assertions](primer.md#assertions) that you use to test the
+behavior of your code. The above sample includes the main GoogleTest header file
+and demonstrates some basic assertions.
+
+To build the code, create a file named `BUILD` in the same directory with the
+following contents:
+
+```
+load("@rules_cc//cc:defs.bzl", "cc_test")
+
+cc_test(
+  name = "hello_test",
+  size = "small",
+  srcs = ["hello_test.cc"],
+  deps = ["@com_google_googletest//:gtest_main"],
+)
+```
+
+This `cc_test` rule declares the C++ test binary you want to build, and links to
+GoogleTest (`//:gtest_main`) using the prefix you specified in the `WORKSPACE`
+file (`@com_google_googletest`). For more information about Bazel `BUILD` files,
+see the
+[Bazel C++ Tutorial](https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/tutorial/cpp.html).
+
+Now you can build and run your test:
+
+<pre>
+<strong>my_workspace$ bazel test --test_output=all //:hello_test</strong>
+INFO: Analyzed target //:hello_test (26 packages loaded, 362 targets configured).

+
+Congratulations! You've successfully built and run a test binary using
+GoogleTest.
