How to package and deploy the output of a bazel build action

In this video I talk about how you can access the artifacts that are built using the bazel build system. Bazel is really good at a taking inputs, doing some action on them and the returning the outputs for other build steps. But how do you take those outputs and copy them to a location of on your own computer. Or copy them into the actual workspace This video sets up a step-by-step guide on how to compile a simple binary, with the python rules. zip them using package rules and then uses a simple script to copy the result to into the workspace Here are the links to the pages that are mentioned in the project
