NAME

dotnet-new -- Create a new sample .NET Core project

SYNOPSIS

dotnet-new [--type] [--lang]

DESCRIPTION

The new command provides a convenient way to initalize a valid .NET Core project and sample source code to try out the CLI toolset.

This command is invoked in the context of a directory. When invoked, the command will result in two main artifacts being dropped to the directory:

1. A sample "Hello World" program that exists in Program.cs ( or Program.fs ) file.
2. A valid project.json file

Note: As a workaround for packages not being on NuGet.org yet (since this is prelease software) the dotnet-new command will also drop a NuGet.config file. This will be removed at RC2 release.

After this, the project is ready to be compiled and/or edited further.

Options

-l, --lang [C##|F##]

Language of project. Defaults to C##. Also csharp ( fsharp ) or cs ( fs ) works.

-t, --type

Type of the project. Valid values are "console" and "web".

EXAMPLES

dotnet new

Drops a sample C## project in the current directory.

dotnet new --lang f##

Drops a sample F## project in the current directory.

dotnet new --lang c##

Drops a sample C## project in the current directory.
