# Gazelle plugin | |
[Gazelle](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel-gazelle) | |
is a build file generator for Bazel projects. It can create new `BUILD.bazel` files for a project that follows language conventions and update existing build files to include new sources, dependencies, and options. | |
Bazel may run Gazelle using the Gazelle rule, or it may be installed and run as a command line tool. | |
See the documentation for Gazelle with rules_python in the {gh-path}`gazelle` | |
directory. |
