    git.sync()
    vs.build()
    // ...
}

With overrides:

stages {
    git.sync()
    vs.build(
        VS_CONFIG: 'Release',
        VS_PLATFORM: 'x64'
    )
    // ...
}

• The solution/project file accessible in the workspace

1. Invokes MSBuild with the specified configuration and platform
2. Uses diagnostic verbosity by default for detailed build output
3. Sets ctx.buildConfig, ctx.buildPlatform, ctx.buildEngine for downstream stages

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Professional\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\BuildTools\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe
