Windows batch files: .bat vs .cmd?
I know that the .cmd
is the successor of the .bat
(.cmd
files use 32-bit execution while the .bat
files use 16-bit execution) but most repositories I see on github that have a build script for windows continue using .bat
extensions for build files.
As a general rule, anything you can do in a .bat
file you can do in a .cmd
file, but the reverse is usually not true.
There is a reason to use .bat
instead of .cmd
for build files?
Edit:
To clarify the difference between the extensions: Windows batch files: .bat vs .cmd?
