This rule uses a Bash command on Linux/macOS/non-Windows, and a cmd.exe command on Windows (no Bash is required).
If using this rule with source directories, it is recommended that you use the --host_jvm_args=-DBAZEL_TRACK_SOURCE_DIRECTORIES=1 startup option so that changes to files within source directories are detected. See https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/commit/c64421bc35214f0414e4f4226cc953e8c55fa0d2 for more context.
