I use a Mac and need to compile code that's ultimately destined for Windows. The code is in a git repository. Can I download the code on the Mac, compile it on the Mac, but then run it on Windows?

Hello @Mike Puckett ,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum. Yes you can, just like what cooldadtx said. Please feel free to let us know if you have any other concerns:)

If you're targeting a platform that supports Windows such as .NET, .NET 6/7, Xamarin, etc and you've installed the appropriate workloads then yes you can build Windows code and then run it on Windows. Refer to the product page for more information on the platforms that are available.
Thank you. I'm still learning about the kind of applications that need to be written.
