Well if you're familiar with the node ecosystem it's a corollary for npx/bunx/etc.

It is so that folks can build and run "tools" that are executed, utilizing the nuget ecosystem.

Relevant links in the dotnet docs (was just a quick google away):

* https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tools/global-t...

* https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tools/global-t...

It's actually a top-level doc section in the primary dotnet docs (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/).

To boil it down: you create a console app, add a couple of attributes to the solution file (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tools/global-t...). Packaging and publishing to nuget (if you want to share with others) is via `dotnet pack` and `dotnet nuget push` with some flags.

I do have to say it's actually very well documented.



Sorry for being unclear. Using tools isn't my goal. I want to run a single *.cs file from the console. It may be possible to achieve this using tools, but I don't know how. I did read the resources I could find, and didn't find any information about this.


Ah rereading your original comment that makes sense.

I found the announcement page here: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/announcing-dotnet-run-...

And here are the docs for “dotnet run” https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tools/dotnet-r...

You’re right that it’s missing this new functionality. The blog post has some details to get started, but I’m guessing that a docs link or section is missing for that.

Dotnet covers quite a bit so the docs are accordingly larger than other projects that have a smaller scope. I will say though that while hit or miss, on average I’ve enjoyed their docs more than the average project.
