How to create a new build system in Sublime Text

Sublime Text provides build systems to allow users to run external programs. Examples of common uses for build systems include: compiling, transpiling, linting, and executing tests.

Build systems are specified via JSON and saved in a file with the extension .sublime-build. A new build system can be created by the: Tools > Build System > New Build System… menu item or the Build: New Build System command palette entry.
