[BU03] Three easy ways to get Sublime to automatically select your custom build

Build systems in Sublime Text allow you to execute external programs for a variety of reasons. You may find yourself making many builds to carry out tasks, only to find it's a bit onerous to pick the right one. Can we make Sublime select one automatically?

Sublime actually has three different ways to determine the situation in which a build system applies; based on the type of the current file, based on the name of the file being edited and even based on a file existing within the project.

This video shows you how to use all three methods to help Sublime help you by selecting the appropriate build automatically while you work.
