About adaptors

An adaptor is an interface to an external application. Adaptors allow a Build Forge project to exchange information with an external application to accomplish a goal.

For example, the adaptor for a source code application checks a repository for source code changes as a prerequisite to running a Build Forge project. If source code files have changed, the project runs. If there are no changes, the project does not run.
