🏁 Getting started

Use your favorite CLI tools without leaving your code editor:

This example demonstrates how to use MasterCommander to create a new .NET solution and project, initialize a Git repository, and build and run the project. In addition, this code adds a .gitignore file, an .editorconfig file, and a global.json file to the project.

private const string SdkVersion = "8.0.*";
private const string SolutionName = "AppDemo";
private const string ConsoleProjectName = $"{SolutionName}.Console";
private const string ConsoleProjectDirectory = $"src/{ConsoleProjectName}";
private const string ConsoleCsproj = $"{ConsoleProjectDirectory}/{ConsoleProjectName}.csproj";

await git.InitAsync();
await git.StatusAsync();
await dotnet.NewAsync(new DotnetNewGitignoreOptions());
await dotnet.NewAsync(new DotnetNewEditorConfigOptions());
await dotnet.NewAsync(new DotnetNewNuGetConfigOptions());
await dotnet.NewAsync(new DotnetNewGlobalJsonOptions { SdkVersion = SdkVersion });
await dotnet.NewAsync(new DotnetNewSolutionOptions { OutputName = SolutionName });
await dotnet.NewAsync(new DotnetNewConsoleOptions { OutputName = ConsoleProjectName, OutputDirectory = ConsoleProjectDirectory });
await dotnet.SlnAddAsync(ConsoleCsproj);
await git.AddAsync("*");
await dotnet.BuildAsync();
await dotnet.BuildAsync(new DotnetBuildOptions { Configuration = "Release" });
await dotnet.RunAsync(new DotnetRunOptions { Project = ConsoleCsproj, Configuration = "Release" });

You can standardize your development workflow by using MasterCommander to perform common tasks across multiple projects and technology stacks.
